Description

Watercolour drawing of the urino-generative organs of a man who had extroversion of the bladder, and lived till he was over 60 years of age. The deep red mass represents the exposed mucous membrane of the bladder. Below this is seen the rudimentary penis in a condition of complete epispadias. The rounded eminences on either side of the extroverted bladder are two hernial sacs, and below these lie the testes, widely separated in an imperfect scrotum, the skin of which, particularly in the middle line, is raised into numerous hypertrophied papillae, caused by the irritation of the urine, which continuously trickled over this region. The drawing was taken after death.
