  The scrotal median raphe cysts are injuries produced because of a default in the process of fusion of the raphe during embryogenesis. Despite of being congenital anomalies, its silent progress makes its diagnosis infrequent during childhood and, therefore, the ignorance of a lot of pediatricians who sometimes mistake these anomalies with others cystic, tumor or infectious damages. Because of its benign nature and that they are usually asymptomatic, it isn't necessary any treatment. In symptomatic cases, usually produced because of trauma or infection, it is advisable to remove the cysts. In order to facilitate the diagnosis and management of these lesions, we present the case of an 8 months old male who had three injuries in median raphe of the scrotum consistent with median raphe cysts, one of which complicated five years later with the formation of an abscess.
