Abstract
Background
Paraurethral cyst is a rare cause of interlabial mass in neonates with an incidence
of 1 in every 2000-7000 live births and represents less than 0.5% of congenital malformations
of the urinary tract.
Case
We report the case of a paraurethral cyst in a neonate, which regressed spontaneously
during follow-up without complications.
Summary and Conclusion
Paraurethral cyst should be considered in the differential diagnosis of interlabial
masses in newborns. Because of the high probability of spontaneous regression, expectant
management appears to represent the management of choice.
