The abnormal presence of bony tissue in organ systems is not uncommon; however, heterotopic bone in the GU system is rare and may be ascribable to different causes. The present study analyzes the etiopathogenesis of urogenital bony heterotopy in five patients in whom radiologic and/or histopathologic evaluation revealed the presence of the basic unit of structure of compact bone or haversian canal. Our findings prompt us to suggest that the term "os penis" should be changed to that of "penile osteoma" or "cavernositis ossificans of penis" on the basis of the histologic rather than the phylogenetic features of this genital disorder.
