Congenital cysts of the external female genitalia may be discovered from the initial newborn examination and cause concern for clitoromegaly or ambiguous genitalia. We describe a clitoral cyst presenting as apparent clitoromegaly in a newborn; this is the third reported case in the literature. We also review the differential and evaluation for clitoromegaly in a newborn. We present a case of a 1-day-old newborn, with concern for clitoromegaly on initial newborn examination. Multiple anatomy ultrasounds were performed during pregnancy and no genital abnormality was noted. On physical examination, a 1 \u00d7 1 cm cyst was found on the clitoral hood obstructing the clitoris and vaginal opening. There were no signs of virilization or hyperandrogenism on examination. The cyst was aspirated, with clear, serous fluid removed. Normal female anatomy and normal clitoris size were noted after aspiration. She had no recurrence of the cyst in the months after discharge. Clitoral cysts of the female external genitalia are rare findings. Barring signs of virilization of hyperandrogenism, conservative management and watchful waiting or cyst drainage are reasonable approaches.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1542\/pir.2020-0043","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,1]],"date-time":"2021-09-01T09:20:38Z","timestamp":1630488038000},"page":"173-176","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Apparent Clitoromegaly in Healthy Female Newborn"],"prefix":"10.1542","volume":"42","author":[{"given":"Paul S.","family":"Hiers","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Pediatric Endocrinology, University of Louisville, Norton Children\u2019s Hospital, Louisville, KY"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rita Tatiana","family":"Abi Younes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pediatric Critical Care, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Michael J.","family":"Haller","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pediatric Endocrinology, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"417","reference":[{"issue":"6","key":"2022012815402098100_B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"607","DOI":"10.1016\/0002-9378(78)90851-7","article-title":"Cysts of the female external genitalia in the newborn infant","volume":"132","author":"Merlob","year":"1978","journal-title":"Am J Obstet Gynecol"},{"issue":"6","key":"2022012815402098100_B2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2057","DOI":"10.1016\/S0022-5347(01)65435-1","article-title":"Clitoral cyst: an unusual cause of clitorimegaly","volume":"156","author":"Teague","year":"1996","journal-title":"J Urol"},{"issue":"3","key":"2022012815402098100_B3","first-page":"51","article-title":"Epidermoid cyst of the clitoris: a rare cause of clitoromegaly","volume":"4","author":"Saha","year":"2013","journal-title":"APSP J Case Rep"},{"issue":"1","key":"2022012815402098100_B4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"113","DOI":"10.1111\/ped.13731","article-title":"Clitoris cyst mimicking ambiguous genitalia and presenting spontaneous regression","volume":"61","author":"Beltr\u00e3o","year":"2019","journal-title":"Pediatr Int (Roma)"},{"issue":"1","key":"2022012815402098100_B5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"206","DOI":"10.1016\/j.urology.2014.03.008","article-title":"Spontaneous clitoral hood epidermal inclusion cyst mimicking clitoromegaly in a pediatric patient","volume":"84","author":"Schober","year":"2014","journal-title":"Urology"}],"container-title":["Pediatrics In Review"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/publications.aap.org\/pediatricsinreview\/article-pdf\/42\/Supplement_2\/173\/1251078\/pedsinreview.20200043.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"syndication"},{"URL":"https:\/\/publications.aap.org\/pediatricsinreview\/article-pdf\/42\/Supplement_2\/173\/1251078\/pedsinreview.20200043.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,28]],"date-time":"2022-01-28T15:40:31Z","timestamp":1643384431000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/publications.aap.org\/pediatricsinreview\/article\/42\/Supplement_2\/173\/179918\/Apparent-Clitoromegaly-in-Healthy-Female-Newborn"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,1]]},"references-count":5,"journal-issue":{"issue":"Supplement_2","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,1]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1542\/pir.2020-0043","relation":{},"ISSN":["0191-9601","1526-3347"],"issn-type":[{"type":"print","value":"0191-9601"},{"type":"electronic","value":"1526-3347"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,1]]}}}
