Mean z-score (number of standard deviations below mean stretched penile length) at diagnosis was -4.25 (range 3.1 to -6.6) with -2.5 representing micropenis. In adulthood mean final stretched penile length z-score was -1.73 (range -0.91 to -2.66). Seven of the 8 patients (87.5%) had stretched penile length within normal range. CONCLUSIONS:
