Summary
This study reports a case of a paraurethral cyst in a 40-year-old woman, likely originating from Skene's duct. The cyst was treated using marsupialization, and 29 similar cases from Japanese literature were reviewed.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Gynecology
Background:
- Paraurethral cysts are rare cystic lesions in the female lower urinary tract.
- Skene's duct, homologous to the male prostate, can be a site of cyst formation.
Observation:
- A 40-year-old woman presented with a paraurethral cyst.
- The cyst was suspected to originate from the left Skene's duct.
Findings:
- The paraurethral cyst was successfully treated with marsupialization.
- A review of 29 Japanese literature cases provides additional context on paraurethral cysts.
Implications:
- Marsupialization is an effective treatment for paraurethral cysts originating from Skene's duct.
- Understanding the origin and management of these cysts aids clinical practice and patient care.
