Abstract

A 6 month old boy with normal external genitalia, presented with purulent urethral discharge from the neonatal period and recurrent urinary tract infections. Radiologic and urethrocystoscopic evaluation showed a midline structure connected to the prostatic urethra and discharging with pus. This structure, considered to be a prostatic utricle cyst was successfully drained endoscopically.
