Parameatal cyst of urethra: A rare congenital anomaly

Abstract

We report a case of parameatal urethral cyst in a 15-year-old boy which is a very rare congenital anomaly. The cyst recognized at infancy but the boy presented to our clinic at the age of 15 when the mass was grown enough to cause spraying of urine and poor cosmesis. Complete excision of the cyst with total removal of the epithelium is the required for treatment and prevention of recurrence.

Parameatal Urethral Cyst: A Case Report

“…On examination of the urinary system, no abnormality was detected in our patient.

The most common reason for a hospital admission has been related to cosmetic concerns, however, complaints of voiding difficulty or painful urination have also been reported (2,3). The recommended treatment for a PUC is complete surgical excision of the cyst (1,2).…”

[10] Parameatal kist genellikle asemptomatiktir. Bazen üriner retansiyon, idrar yaparken ve cinsel ilişki esnasında ağrı duyma, kötü kozmetik görüntü, idrar akımında bozulma gibi yakınmalara yol açabilir.…”

“…süreleri bildirilse de, olguların çoğu 6 ay izlenmiştir. [1,10,11,14] Biz de altı aylık izlem süresince rekürrens görmedik ve iyi kozmetik sonuç elde ettik.…”
