Abstract An unusual case of neonatal hydrometrocolpos is reported where uterovaginal distension with fluid had produced not only a midline abdominal mass, but also bilateral cystic gluteal swelling. Perineal extension of a hydrometrocolpos causing bilateral gluteal swelling has not been reported previously in the literature. Our patient also had multiple associated anomalies suggestive of a defect in mesodermal embryogenesis similar to that in the müllerian dysgenesis syndrome.
