Penile fracture with urethral injury is uncommon. Diagnosis is usually based on clinical history and physical examination. Nonetheless, atypical presentation obliges complementary examinations to be performed.We report a case of a 45-years-old man with urethral bleeding after a blunt penile trauma that was ultimately diagnosed as having a cavernous body laceration on top of an urethral rupture.
