Abstract
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.
