Os penis

Eur Urol. 1984;10(6):420-2. doi: 10.1159/000463850.

Abstract

The presence of os penis in man is very rare. To date only 11 cases have been published. A close study of these cases shows their extreme heterogeneity. We think that the os penis should be considered as a heterotopic bone structure similar to that found in the animal world. To confirm this we present our personal case study.
