Abstract :
Penile fracture is a rare urological emergency resulting from tear in the tunica albuginea of the penis due to forceful manipulation of an erect penis. We would like to report a case suspected of penile fracture presenting with large hematoma over the glans penis in which, ultrasound was used to confirm the diagnosis and correlate the ultrasound and intra operative findings.
