PRESENTATION A 51-years-old man presented to his primary
care physician complaining
of painless dysuria and sexual dysfunction. These symptom had been
present for over 6 months. On palpation, no plaques were detected on
the penis.
Ultrasonography using a 12-MHz linear transducer (Acuson Sequoia 512;
Siemens Medical Solutions) revealed a 4 x 3 cm oval well-defined mass,
heterogeneous mostly hypoechogenic on grey-scale, in the penile root.
The lesion was hypervascular on Color and Power Doppler US.
Longitudunal
US image show a 4 x 3 cm oval well-defined mass, heterogeneous mostly
hypoechogenic. on Color and Power Doppler US, abundant flow
signals were detected within the mass.

Multidetector
Computer
Tomography demonstrated an oval hypodense mass in the
unenhanced
images and hypervascular after contrast-enhanced.
Coronal
AVERAGE image after contrast-enhanced was of help in locating and
delimitating the lesions.

Magnetic Resonance imaging scan demonstrating a 4.0 x 2.0 cm elongated
and fusiform mass compressing the corpora cavernosa and corpus
spongiosum on the right side of the penile shaft. The lesion was
covered by the tunica albuginea. The lesion was hyperintense
on
T2-weighted coronal image with hypointense foci and hypointense
T1-weighted axial image.

heterogeneous mostly hypoechogenic on grey-scale, in the penile root.
The lesion was hypervascular on Color and Power Doppler US.
On
contrast-enhanced, T1-weighted axial image, the mass shows strong
enhancement.
