Abstract

|
|
|
A paraurethral cyst is a rare congenital or acquired abnormality in females that is characterized by a round, yellow or orange-colored cystic mass on either side of the urethral meatus. We report a patient who presented with frequent, postvoiding dribbling. The important differential diagnostic considerations in infants and adults are an ectopic ureterocele, urethral diverticulum, cystocele and paraurethral tumors. Intravenous pyelography, voiding cystourethrogram, cystourethroscopy are essential for differentiating these lesions. This case of a paraurethral cyst was treated with complete excision.
