Parameatal Cyst: A Presentation of Rare Case and Review of Literature

Abstract

A parameatal urethral cyst is a very rare congenital anomaly. It was first reported in two males in 1956 by Thompson and Lantin. About 50 cases have been published since then. Most of the cases which have been reported were from Japanese population and on extensive literature search, few cases were found to have been reported from India. We are reporting a case of a parameatal urethral cyst in a 7-yearold boy. Complete excision of the cyst with total removal of the epithelium is required for treatment and for prevention of recurrence.
