Quiste de prepucio deformante en un recién nacido

Abstract

Penile cysts are uncommon lesions. In general, they are asymptomatic and do not interfere with sexual function. Most of them are present since birth, but usually they are only detectable in adolescence or adulthood. We report a clinical rare case of a newborns of 4 days of birth with a 3.5 cm diameter nodule on the prepuce (dorsal face), which appeared of birth. The cyst was excised by circumcision and a histopathologic study was performed. Histopathologic examination revealed a mucoid cyst by ectopic urethral mucoid of penis skins. No recurrence was observed at a 6 months follow-up after of surgery.
