Suprapubic cartilaginous cyst represents a rare disease. Considering its low prevalence, only 9 clinical case have been described in literature. This lesion is often overlooked due to absence of clinical manifestations, incomplete diagnosis or the lack of necessary information about the disease. We observed a 74-year-old woman whose diagnosis of suprapubic cartilaginous cyst was confirmed by biopsy, as well as ultrasound, computer tomography and MRI results.
