A voiding cystourethrogram demonstrated a syringocele, which was confirmed during endoscopic treatment.\nCONCLUSIONS: Syringocele or cystic dilatation of Cowper's gland duct usually has a congenital etiology. There are four morphological types: simple, perforated, imperforate and ruptured. Diagnosis is made by voiding cystourethrography and confirmed by endoscopy. Transperineal ultrasound was also utilized for the diagnosis. Treatment is by endoscopic incision."}
