The most common hamartoma are kidney hamartoma, spleen hamartoma, liver hamartoma, and lung hamartoma. Urethral hamartoma is extremely rare in clinical practice. Case report Combined with literature review, the diagnosis and treatment process of a child with posterior urethral hamartoma and hypospadias in our hospital were analyzed. The patient was cured after surgical treatment, the lesion was completely removed, the appearance was satisfactory, and there was no recurrence, urethral stricture, urethral fistula, and other complications. The pathological results of this case support the histological diagnosis of hamartoma, which provides reference for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of congenital malformation and tumor of urogenital in children.Conclusion:
When a child has posterior urethral hamartoma, the symptoms may not be very typical, and it is often combined with urethral malformation. Therefore, it is necessary to perform careful physical examination combined with pathological examination to be able to make an accurate diagnosis. Under normal circumstances, the prognosis of urethral hamartoma is good. However, more cases are needed to be observed for verification, and a long-term effective follow-up after surgery is needed.
