| Zusammenfassung: | A 45-year-old man first noticed a soft tumor on his left lip of the urethral meatus at the age of 15. The lesion had gradually been increasing in size during the last 10 years. He presented to our clinic with division of urinary stream which had been persisting for about nine months. The tumor was resected, and histopathological examination revealed that it was a mucous cyst. The cyst had an outer wall of stratified squamous epithelium and an inner wall of stratified columnar epithelium. Since the inner wall was covered with epithelium originating from the urethral mucosa and the lesion was located outside the urethral meatus, a diagnosis of parameatal urethral cyst was made. Recently, parameatal urethral cyst has rarely been reported since it is often clinically in significant and remains asymptomatic. In our patient, the tumor showed polyploid growth and caused difficulty in urination. The mechanism of its development is considered based on a review of the literature |
