Perineal groove

J Pediatr Surg. 2006 Mar;41(3):e41-3. doi: 10.1016/j.jpedsurg.2005.12.068.

Abstract

We present a case of this uncommon congenital anomaly of the perineum. A 6-month-old baby had a perineal groove excised for cosmetic reasons. The histology showed a strip of squamous epithelium with an intervening area lined by rectal type of mucosa, suggesting an embryological remnant such as urorectal septum.
