Background: A 21‐year‐old man presented with a sudden onset of miction pain and post‐void dribbling. The diagnosis was Cowper's syringocele due to the findings of retrograde urethrography and urethroscopy.Methods/Results: The patient underwent transurethral unroofing of the syringocele. The present case is of interest because Cowper's syringocele is usually diagnosed in male infants and children and is rarely found in adults.Conclusion: This lesion should be included in the differential diagnosis of voiding disturbances in adults.
