“…The etiology of parameatal cysts is still not fully understood, obstruction of the paraurethral duct, either spontaneous or secondary to infection is thought to be one of the factors that cause parameatal cysts. Some authors believe that parameatal urethral cysts occur in interfering process with the division of foreskin from the glands of the penis, and some believe that cyst formation results from anomalous fusion of the urethra, formation of median raphe cysts, or caused by obstruction of the paraurethral duct (Gupta and Gupta, 2015;Lal and Agarwal, 2013;Willis et al, 2011;Ichiro et al, 1985).…”

“…Ichiyanagi et al (2001) detected the presence of prostate specific antigen (PSA) on cells from parameatal urethral cysts, and the hypothesis was these cysts originated from accessory glands in the urethra. Soyer et al reported two female infants with parameatal urethral cysts, allegedly related to the role of estrogen in the development of the unborn baby (Lal and Agarwal, 2013;Gupta and Gupta, 2015).…”

“…Perimeatal cysts are usually less than 1 cm in size, and are located on one side at the urethral meatus, but bilateral cases have also been reported. Parameatal cysts often show no symptoms, but some of the symptoms that can appear are urinary disorders such as branching urine, pain when urinating, or even urinary retention, pain during sexual intercourse, and bad cosmetics are reasons to come to the doctor for the first time (Gupta and Gupta, 2015;Lal and Agarwal, 2013).…”

“…Histologically, there are 4 types of epithelium that can line the cyst wall, there are columnar, cuboidal, squamous, or transitional epithelium which varies according to the origin of the lesion in the urethra. Otsuka et al describe the three histopathological classifications of cysts into 3 types, there are epithelium which origin from urethra (columnar, cuboidal, and/or transitional), followed by epithelium which origin from epidermis (squamous epithelium), and mixed type (Gupta and Gupta, 2015;Lal and Agarwal, 2013;Willis et al, 2011;Herek et al, 2000).…”

“…Fourteen patients who underwent excision of the cyst, none had reported relapse and other complications. Four patients who did not undergo surgery, 1 experienced spontaneous resolution within weeks, while the other 3 were under observation and did not seek other treatment (Gupta and Gupta, 2015;Willis et al, 2011;Elder, 2007). The histopathologic results reported in this study, apart from the specimens reviewed by Willis et al (2011), consist of a combination of epithelium (transitional epithelium, cuboidal, squamous and columnar epithelium).…”

Parameatal urethral cyst is a scarce congenital condition that was first reported in two males in 1956, until now in reported literature only found less than 50 cases, in both adults and children. Our patient, case of parameatal urethral cyst in a 5 years old boy is reported. Complete excision with total removal of the epithelium of the cyst is required management for the treatment and prevention of cyst reocurrance. A 5 years old male with a cystic lesion around urethral meatus since birth. At least 5 month the parents complain distorted urinary flow and poor appearance, and no other urinary symptom, no history of trauma. On physical examination, cystic mass with spherical shape which was about 0.5 cm in diameter was found around external meatus. There was no inflammatory sign. And there was normal blood laboratory (blood counts and blood chemistry) and urine laboratory (urine analysis and urine culture). The patient undergo completely excision of the cyst under general anaesthesia, and remove all of the lining epithelium. Good appearance results were obtained after 2 months follow up, without meatal strictures and urine stream problems, and no postoperative complications or recurrence. Pathological : Squamous epithelial, granulation tissue with chronic inflamation. Parameatal urethral cyst is a very rare benign condition that is asymptomatic in most of the cases. It may be present since birth or appear later and is prevalent in young males. Its etiology remains unclear and treatment is by complete surgical excision to avoid complications and recurrence. Good cosmetic results were obtained in this case without any recurrence at two months follow-up.
