Parameatal cyst of glans penis

Abstract

The parameatal cyst is a very benign condition seen in boys. We report a case of a parameatal urethral cyst in a 12-year-old boy. The cyst was recognized during early childhood, but the boy presented to our clinic at the age of 12 years, when the mass had grown enough to cause spraying of urine and poor cosmesis. A complete surgical excision was performed. Histologically, the cyst wall was lined by a tall columnar epithelium. Good cosmetic results, with no recurrence, were obtained.
