[Seminal vesicle cyst and ipsilateral renal agenesis].

OBJECTIVES

To report one case of seminal vesicle cyst with renal agenesis. To describe its clinical, radiological and therapeutic characteristics.

METHODS/RESULTS: 42-year-old male presenting with irritative voiding symptoms. Digital rectal examination revealed a soft irregular mass over the prostate. Diagnostic imaging tests showed an enlargement of the left seminal vesicle and ipsilateral renal agenesis. Surgery was carried out with excision of the seminal vesicle cyst by an extravesical and extraperitoneal approach. Two years later the patient remains asymptomatic.

CONCLUSIONS

Cystic pathology of the seminal vesicle is rare. Diagnosis is based on clinical symptoms, digital rectal examination and imaging studies. Surgery is necessary for symptomatic cases.
