Objectives: In this study, we aimed to determine the frequency and diversity of the external genital organ anomalies in boys betwe-en the ages of 7-14 in a primary school in center of Cizre district.
Materials and Methods: A total of 500 boys between the ages of 7-14 in a primary school in the district center were joined to study. They were examined at a suitable room in the school and de-tected external genital organ anomalies were recorded.
Results: In the result of genital organ examination, the genital anomalies were determined in 42 (8.4%) of 500 boys. The most de-tected anomalies were undescended testis (%2.6), retractile testis (%1.4) and penile rotation anomalies (%1.2)
Conclusion: In the study, it has been determined that exter-nal genitalia anomalies requiring treatment in early childhood are postponed to later childhood without management. It has been tho-ught that these rates might decline by becoming easier access of the children to health services at this area.
Key words: Anomaly, external genitalia, epidemiology, pediat-ric urology.
