Abstract
We present two cases of inclusion cysts of the clitoris following female genital mutilation (FGM) in a 5 and 35 years old, respectively. According to the World Health Organization, FGM is a violation of the rights of women and girl child. It is even more worrisome as evidence exists suggesting more involvement of health-care personnels in this act. The recent belief in some cultures that there may be decreased risk of complications following medicalization of the procedure may be untrue. The patients had an uneventful postoperative period and were discharged home afterward.
