Abstract

The authors describe the case of a newborn female with an ovoid interlabial genital mass, anterior to the vaginal introitus. The diagnosis of paraurethral cyst or Skene’s duct cyst was established. This diagnosis is clinical and it is important to be aware of the differential diagnoses. Management is conservative in most cases, with spontaneous resolution within weeks. The condition has a favorable prognosis.
