Solitary echinococcal cysts of the seminal vesicles are very uncommon. The use of ultrasonography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging aids considerably in the differential diagnosis. Surgical removal of pelvic echinococcal cysts should be performed with great caution to avoid accidental puncture and parasite spillage in the retroperitoneal space. We report on a case of a male patient presenting with urinary retention owing to a large hydatid cyst of the seminal vesicles. The literature regarding this rare clinical entity is also reviewed.
精囊孤立性棘球蚴囊肿非常罕见。超声、计算机断层扫描和磁共振成像的应用对鉴别诊断有很大帮助。盆腔棘球蚴囊肿的手术切除应极其谨慎，以避免意外穿刺和寄生虫在腹膜后间隙溢出。我们报告一例因精囊巨大包虫囊肿导致尿潴留的男性患者。同时也对关于这一罕见临床实体的文献进行了综述。
