    ObjectiveTo analyze the diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties in rupture of the albuginea penis and review the literature.Methods/ResultsTwo additional cases of penile rupture are described. Penile ultrasound evaluation disclosed a hematoma in the corpus cavernosum in one case and hematoma and a probable rupture of the albuginea penis in the other case. Treatment was by immediate surgery which achieved good cosmetic and functional results.ConclusionsPenile fracture is an uncommon condition which occurs when the penis is in erection. Ultrasound is useful in its diagnosis, but MRI is more precise. Treatment is by immediate surgery to avoid sequelae, which are common in cases treated conservatively.
