[A case of genital transposition].

OBJECTIVES

To report the case of a 64-year-old male patient who was diagnosed of complete genital transposition.

METHODS

Physical examination, blood tests, and radiologic tests (ultrasound, intravenous urography) were performed.

RESULTS

Physical examination findings were limited to the genital area. There was a complete genital transposition with normal testicles, epididymis, and spermatic cord. Both blood and radiologic tests were normal. Patient did not refer any symptoms of dysuria, and he had normal sexual intercourse, so that he refused the proposed surgical treatment.

CONCLUSIONS

Genital transposition is a rare malformation, it is not life-threatening in most cases, but some cases have multiple coexistent malformations, some of them incompatible with life, partially justifying the scarcity of reports.
