Parameatal Cyst : A report of Two Cases and Review of Literature

ABSTRACT

Cyst formation in the parameatal area is a relatively rare entity and not many cases have been reported in the literature. Two such cases are reported here. First patient was a 46 year old sexually active male who developed a spherical, cystic swelling of 1 cm in size on right lip of external urethral meatus. The second case was a 4 year old boy who presented with asymptomatic recurrent left parameatal swelling. In both the cases, cysts were completely excised and defects were sutured. Histologically, the cyst walls were lined by tall squamous and columnar epithelium. Good cosmetic results were obtained in these two cases without any recurrence at 2 two months follow up.
