Parameatal urethral cyst of the glans penis: A rare entity

Parameatal urethral cysts are a rare benign condition usually seen in males. They are usually asymptomatic but may produce symptoms like difficulty in micturition, pain during intercourse, urinary retention and distortion of the urinary stream. We report a case of parameatal urethral cyst in a 17 year old male presenting as a spherical clear fluid filled cystic lesion measuring about 0.8 cm in diameter at the external urethral meatus, causing distortion of the urinary stream and poor cosmesis. Complete surgical excision of the cyst was done and no recurrence was observed at 6 months of follow-up.
