    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Congenital Malformations

    Background:

    • Megalourethra is a rare congenital condition involving penile urethra dilation.
    • Previous classifications distinguish between scaphoid and fusiform types.

    Observation:

    • This review analyzes 6 new cases and 35 previously reported cases of megalourethra.
    • The distinction between scaphoid and fusiform megalourethra appears arbitrary.

    Findings:

    • Megalourethra is best conceptualized as a spectrum of a single disorder, not two distinct entities.
    • Upper urinary tract abnormalities frequently coexist with megalourethra.

    Implications:

    • All patients diagnosed with megalourethra require thorough upper urinary tract investigation.
    • This approach ensures comprehensive management of associated renal and ureteral anomalies.
