Abstract
- Median raphe cyst is a relatively uncommon lesion occurring in the midline male perineum, especially ventral aspect of penis. It is an embryologic developmental anomaliy of the male genitalia. Histologically, the lining cells are usually pseudostratified columnar epithelium, but can be stratified squamous epithelium and sometimes mucous glands and ciliated cells can be observed within the cyst wall. Herein, we report a case of median raphe cyst in the midline of the scrotum of a 2-year-old boy.
