Its diagnosis is suspected clinically by obstructive symptoms of the lower urinary tract most often associated with a penoscrotal ball.Its management consists of a diverticulectomy associated or not with a urethroplasty depending on the size of the diverticulum.We discuss through a case report the clinical and therapeutic aspects of this rare entity.
