Median raphe cysts of the perineum are uncommon congenital lesions. Congenital lesions rarely encountered in daily clinical practice. Their diagnosis in childhood is particularly rare. We report two children with these cysts requiring surgical removal. We review the embryological, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of these cysts, which could be of interest to pediatricians and pediatric surgeons when faced with this pathology in children.

The occurrence of cysts and papulopustules along the midline penile raphe, as a complication of gonococcal urethritis, is considered an exceptional presentation.

We present the case of a 25-year-old male who experienced these lesions twice, coinciding with two separate episodes of gonococcal urethritis following unprotected sex.
