Abstract

Congenital cutaneous fistula in the pubic area in infants and young children is a very rare congenital dysplasia disease, mainly manifested by abnormal punctiform opening near the midline of the area. What we are going to describe is a case of a 2-month-old boy with a congenital dorsal penile cutaneous fistula. At first, the main manifestation was pus at the opening of the fistula. The child recovered well after surgery without obvious complications.

Keywords: Congenital; dorsal penile cutaneous fistula; dysplasia disease; fistulography; surgical treatment.
