ABSTRACT
A 22 years old male presented with a mass over the penis since birth, which was painless and gradually increasing in size. The mass was excised and it was found to be penile epidermal cyst. Epidermal cyst is one of the most common benign tumors occurring in the body, which commonly occurs either congenitally or following trauma or surgery, where the epidermal elements get trapped within closed space. But here this case had no trauma and surgeries in the past and the mass present since birth-a case of congenital penile epidermal cyst.
ABSTRACT
Los quistes del rafe medio del pene son lesiones benignas, infrecuentes en urología pediátrica, y usualmente asintomáticos. Se localizan en la región parameatal y borde inferior del prepucio. Se presentaron dos casos que acudieron a consulta de Urología, por el hallazgo del quiste por parte de los padres de los pacientes. Ambos quisten tenían de 1 a 2 cm de diámetro. Ninguno de los casos reportados se les había realizado la circuncisión previamente. A los dos casos se les hizo la marsupialización del quiste mediante cirugía ambulatoria, siendo la evolución post operatoria satisfactoria.
Penile medial raphe cysts are benign lesions, infrequent in pediatric urology, usually asymptomatic. They are located in the parameatal region and the low edge of the foreskin. We presented two cases assisting to the Urology consultation because the patients´ parents discovered the cysts. Both cysts were 1- 2cm diameter. No one of the patients was previously circumcised. It was carried out the marsupialization of both cysts in ambulatory surgery, being satisfactory post-surgery evolution.
