Paraurethral Skene′s duct cyst in a newborn

Abstract

Paraurethral or Skene′s duct cysts are rare causes of interlabial masses in neonates. The diagnosis of Skene′s duct cysts in the neonatal period is based on its location, in relation to the urethra, and the demonstration of transitional epithelium in the cyst wall. The distinguishing features of paraurethral cysts are the displacement of urethral meatus by the mass and a cyst containing milky fluid. Thus, we report a case of a Skene′s duct cyst in a newborn which was treated by incision and drainage.
