[Cysts of the median raphe (prepuce and perineum). Brief contribution].
A few remarks on the clinical records of two children with middle raphe cysts located in the pre-putium and the perineum. For a better understanding of this entity, the organogenetic dynamics of the penis, scrotum, pre-putium and male urethra are outlined and redefined. Middle raphe cysts are tegumentary formations that arise as a result of "tissue trappings". This entity should not be suggestive of malignancies. Therapeutical restraint should be the rule. Exeresis should only be indicated in the face of a hypothetical complication (e.g., infection, large volumes, etc.) or because of aesthetic reasons.
