This study details four megautricle cases, highlighting their connection to ejaculatory ducts. An embryogenic hypothesis explains megautricle variations linked to the seminal pathway.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Embryology
  • Anatomy

Background:

  • Megautricle is a rare congenital anomaly.
  • Its precise embryogenesis and relationship with the seminal pathway remain unclear.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe four cases of megautricle.
  • To investigate the relationship between megautricle and ejaculatory ducts.
  • To propose an embryogenic hypothesis for megautricle formation.

Main Methods:

  • Case series presentation.
  • Anatomical and embryological analysis.
  • Review of relevant literature.

Main Results:

  • Four cases of megautricle were identified.

  • A consistent relationship between megautricle and ejaculatory ducts was observed.
  • An embryogenic hypothesis linking megautricle morphology to seminal pathway development was formulated.

    • Conclusions:

    • Megautricle likely arises from abnormal development of the mesonephric duct system.
    • The observed variations in megautricle are potentially explained by the proposed embryogenic hypothesis related to the seminal pathway.
