Insights

Skene's gland cysts, rare in children, can form when these paraurethral glands become blocked. This case highlights a Skene's gland cyst in a 25-month-old girl, emphasizing its occurrence outside the neonatal period.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Pediatric Gynecology

Background:

  • Skene's glands are the largest paraurethral glands in females, homologous to the male prostate.
  • Cysts typically form due to duct obstruction, predominantly in adult women.
  • Pediatric cases are rare, mostly neonatal, with few documented in prepubertal children.

Urologic Endoscopic Procedure: Cystoscopic Examination

Meaning of Cystoscopic Examination:Cystoscopy is an essential diagnostic tool in urology that is used to assess the structure and function of the genitourinary system. It provides a direct view of the urethra, bladder, and, in some cases, the ureteral openings. This procedure helps detect structural abnormalities, infections, cancers, and blockages in the urinary tract. There are two types of cystoscopy:Flexible cystoscopy is commonly performed in outpatient settings due to its less invasive...

Accessory Structures of the Skin: Sebaceous Glands

A sebaceous gland is a type of oil gland found almost all over the skin ( except palms and soles) and helps lubricate and waterproof the skin and hair. Most sebaceous glands are associated with hair follicles. They generate and excrete sebum, a mixture of lipids, onto the skin surface, thereby naturally lubricating the dry and dead layer of keratinized cells of the stratum corneum, keeping it pliable.
These glands that produce the oils on the skin and hair are holocrine glands. The mature...
