Mucoid cyst of the penile skin: A rare entity

African Journal of Urology volume 16, pages 132–133 (2010)Cite this article

Abstract

A 9-year old male patient was admitted to our clinic for circumcision. Physical examination revealed a mass in the prepuce. After excision of the mass, histopathological examination was consistent with a mucoid cyst of the penile skin, which has been rarely reported. Pathologists and clinicians dealing with genitourinary system pathology should be familiar with this rarely encountered entity.
