Abstract

Penile medial raphe cysts are benign lesions, infrequent in pediatric urology, usually asymptomatic. They are located in the parameatal  region and the low edge of the foreskin. We presented two cases assisting to the Urology consultation because the patients´ parents discovered the cysts. Both cysts were 1- 2cm diameter. No one of the patients was previously circumcised. It was carried out the marsupialization of both cysts in ambulatory surgery, being satisfactory post-surgery evolution.
