title: [A toddler with a swelling of his penis].
abstract: A 4-year-old boy presented with a subcutaneous, yellowish swelling of 0.8 by 1.5 cm on his penis. We made the diagnosis of a smegma retention cyst. This cyst is the result of a physiologic phenomenon that originates from the separation of the foreskin.
