Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Dermatology

Background:

  • Congenital midline sinus tracts are uncommon, particularly in the suprapubic region.
  • Differentiating these from other congenital anomalies requires careful diagnostic evaluation.

Observation:

  • A 5-year-old boy presented with a 2-month history of whitish discharge from a suprapubic midline sinus.
  • Radiography showed a blind fistula; voiding cystourethrography was normal, excluding urinary tract connection.

Findings:

  • Surgical excision of the subpubic sinus was performed.
  • Pathological examination revealed a unique epithelial lining: ciliated-columnar, stratified-squamous, and transitional epithelium.

Implications:

  • This case highlights a previously unreported epithelial configuration for a subpubic sinus.
