	<span style=\"font-size:10.0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Median raphe cyst of the perineum is a rare congenital
anomaly and was first reported in 1895. We report a 9-year-old male with median
raphe cysts in the perineum which had become swollen and then spontaneously
ruptured several times since he was 3 years old. There were two separate lesions;
one was a cystic </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">lesion and the other was a
canal-like lesion. They were </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">completely excised and the inner layer of
the cysts was composed of transitional epithelium.</span></span><span style=\"font-size:10.0pt;\"></span>
