A congenital ectopic penis and sheath were surgically removed from a Beefmaster bull. Follow-up confirmed no connection to the bull's normal reproductive system.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Congenital Abnormalities
  • Bovine Reproduction

Background:

  • Congenital ectopic genitalia are rare developmental anomalies in livestock.
  • Surgical intervention is often necessary for congenital defects affecting reproductive organs.

Observation:

  • A 1-month-old Beefmaster bull presented with an ectopic penis and sheath in the right paralumbar fossa.
  • Surgical excision of the abnormal tissue was performed for the congenital defect.

Findings:

  • Gross and histologic examination confirmed a normal penis and sheath structure within the excised ectopic tissue.
  • The ectopic penis terminated at a prostate gland located medial to the right ilium.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of early diagnosis and surgical correction of congenital ectopic genitalia in young bulls.
