Paraurethral (Skene's duct) cysts in the newborn resolve spontaneously

Paraurethral or Skene's duct cysts in the newborn period and early childhood are readily identified by their characteristic appearance —round, yellow- or orange-coloured swellings beside and distorting the urethral orifice. Clinical examination should be followed by sonography of the urinary tract. Natural resolution is the likely outcome and early surgery is not necessary.
