Congenital median raphe cysts: Coexistence of cystic lesions and canal-like lesions

چکیده
Median raphe cyst of the perineum is a rare congenital anomaly and was first reported in 1895.

There were two separate lesions; one was a cystic lesion and the other was a canal-like lesion. They were completely excised and the inner layer of the cysts was composed of transitional epithelium.
