Abstract:
Median raphe cyst of the penis is an uncommon entity that usually presents as a cystic lesion on the ventral aspect of the penis, and which has a broad spectrum of histopathological appearances. It occurs most commonly near the glans penis, but may occur anywhere from the urethral meatus to the anus. It is solitary and measures only a few millimeters in diameter. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice. Recently we observed an 18-year-old male patient who had had a median raphe cyst since 5 years ago near the urethral orifice of the glans penis.
