Trichilemmal Cyst of the Penis in a Paediatric Patient
Journal Title: Sultan Qaboos University Medical Journal - Year 2015, Vol 15, Issue 1
Abstract
Paediatric penile cysts are uncommon. We report a fve-year-old child with an asymptomatic progressively growing cyst on the ventral aspect of the penis after a hypospadias repair. Te patient presented to the Cooper Health Clinic, Dubai, United Arab Emirates, in March 2012. A complete excision of the cyst was performed. Histology results delineated a capsulated benign trichilemmal cyst. No recurrence or complications were reported in the 26 months following the excision. We recommend an early and complete excision of all penile cysts to prevent the risk of urethral obstruction, infection, inflammation and rare malignant changes. Tis is the frst reported case of a penile trichilemmal cyst in a child.
