The physical examination of a 3-month-old male infant determines that the urethral opening is on the dorsal aspect of the glans penis. This finding could be consistent with:

Rationale: A. Phimosis is the inability to retract the foreskin over the glans and does not involve abnormal placement of the urethral opening. B. Hypospadias is a congenital condition in which the urethral opening is located on the ventral (underside) aspect of the penis, not the dorsal side. C. Epispadias is a rare congenital anomaly in which the urethral opening is located on the dorsal (top) aspect of the penis. Early recognition is important for surgical planning and preventing urinary complications. D. A hydrocele is a fluid-filled sac around the testicle and does not affect the location of the urethral meatus.
