“…The incidence of urethral diverticulum is 1–5% in the general population [20]; they have been proposed to arise from: (i) remnants of Gartner's duct; (ii) faulty union of primordial urogenital sinus folds; (iii) Müllerian cell rests; (iv) dilated periurethral cysts; or (v) to be associated with blind‐ending ureters [21–24]. McNally [25] claimed that most diverticula are probably acquired from urethral trauma from childbirth. However, 15–20% of patients with diverticula are nulliparous, so other causes are likely [26].…”

OBJECTIVE To report and describe the diagnosis and treatment of female paraurethral cysts. PATIENTS AND METHODS Twenty‐five cases of cysts of the external female genitalia were diagnosed over a 7‐year period, using a physical examination, routine blood tests, urine analysis, abdominal ultrasonography and cysto‐urethroscopy in all. The cysts were incised, drained and marsupialized; no attempt was made to excise or remove the internal wall of the cyst and it remained in situ. RESULTS All patients responded to simple marsupialization, with no recurrence of the cyst. CONCLUSION Cysto‐urethroscopy and a limited laboratory and imaging evaluation were enough for the diagnosis.

“…The most frequent causative microorganisms are E. coli , gonococci , and Chlamydia [ 2 ]. McNally reported that most diverticula are the result of delivery trauma [ 15 ]; however, 15–20% of females with diverticula are nulliparous [ 16 ].…”

IntroductionParaurethral cysts may be acquired or congenital pathology, and are rarely encountered in urogynecologic practice. Therefore, no consensus on management of paraurethral cyst could be reached. We aimed to report our experience on the management of paraurethral cysts in adult women.Material and methodsA retrospective chart review was conducted on adult women diagnosed with paraurethral cysts between 2011 and 2012. Patients’ complaints, parity, physical signs, diagnostic tests and the obtained findings, surgical intervention, duration of follow–up period, complications, recurrence and histologic examination of the cysts wall were evaluated in the patients included.ResultsTen adult women, aged 23–48 years (mean: 41 years) with paraurethral cysts between 2011 and 2012 were identified. All patients were multiparous. The patients’ complaints included palpable mass, dyspareunia, and dysuria. All patients underwent preoperative urethrocystoscopy. All the cysts were solitary and in dimension of 1 to 3.5 cm and localized in the distal urethra. All patients underwent surgical excision. The mean follow–up period was 8 months (range: 6–12 months). Neither complications nor recurrences were observed. Histopathological examination showed that 5 cysts were lined with squamous epithelium, 2 were lined with transitional epithelium, and 3 were lined with both types of epithelium.ConclusionsParaurethral cysts may be symptomatic and routine urological examinations are sufficient for diagnosis without using advanced imaging technique. In such symptomatic adult patients, partial surgical resection combined with fulguration can be performed effectively without complications. This treatment modality seems exceptional according to the literature.
