Induration along the ventral surface of the penis suggests which of the following?
A) Urethral stricture
B) Testicular carcinoma
C) Peyronie's disease
D) Epidermoid cysts
A) Urethral stricture
Urethral stricture may cause induration of the ventral surface of the penis. It more rarely represents a local carcinoma. A testicular carcinoma would be much more likely to occur in the scrotum. Peyronie's disease often causes induration on the dorsal proximal penis, and epidermoid cysts are benign findings on the scrotum.
