Paraurethral cysts in newborn: a case report and review of literature

Eur J Pediatr Surg. 2000 Feb;10(1):65-7. doi: 10.1055/s-2008-1072327.

Abstract

Paraurethral cysts are uncommonly reported in the newborn. Twenty-eight cases have been reported in the English literature until now. These lesions generally resolve spontaneously. For this reason, a conservative approach is recommended, especially in paraurethral cysts of newborn without complications and symptoms. In this paper, we describe a female neonate who had a paraurethral cyst that spontaneously resolved one month after birth and review the literature.
