Paraurethral cyst is a rare cause of interlabial mass formation in female neonates. Paraurethral cysts are generally asymptomatic, and spontaneous regression is expected. However, the management of paraurethral cysts is a controversial topic. Here, we report the case of a female neonate with a paraurethral cyst that regressed spontaneously on day 3 after birth. Urgent surgical treatment of these cysts is not recommended during the early neonatal period.
