Area of Science:

  • Anatomy
  • Embryology
  • Urology

Background:

  • The dorsal frenulum of the penis is not well-documented in existing English medical literature.
  • Understanding penile anatomy variations is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Observation:

  • This report details a case of a dorsal frenulum in an otherwise normal penis.
  • The presence of this anatomical variation was noted during examination.

Findings:

  • A dorsal frenulum was identified on a normal penis, representing a previously undescribed entity in the literature.
  • The embryological or developmental genesis of this specific anatomical presentation is postulated.

Implications:

  • This case expands the known spectrum of penile anatomical variations.
  • Further research into the development of the dorsal frenulum may offer insights into penile morphogenesis.
