Scrotal pearl is not always a sign of anorectal malformation: median raphe cyst

Turk J Pediatr. 2013 Nov-Dec;55(6):665-6.

Abstract

Pearls of meconium can be seen on the raphe of the scrotum and are considered as a sign of anorectal malformation (ARM). Scrotal pearls without ARM are rare in children and designated as median raphe cyst of the scrotum (MRC). A six-month-old boy with scrotal pearls without ARM is presented to discuss the clinical features and treatment modalities of MRC in infants.
