Bulbourethral Glands
Abstract
In addition to abnormalities in size, the two glands may be fused into a single mass, or one or both may be absent. Sometimes their absence is questionable since the organs may be represented by rudimentary glands embedded entirely within the substance of the corpus cavernosum urethrae.
