BMJ Case Rep. 2015 Jan 22:2015:bcr2014206199. doi: 10.1136/bcr-2014-206199.

Abstract

Median raphe cysts are a rare, congenital entity. We present a case and review the literature in respect to a 35-year-old man with a non-visible, painless midline swelling in the anterior perineum initially thought to be a liposarcoma. Subsequent histopathological examination confirmed a median raphe cyst.
