Giant multilocular cystadenomas of the prostate or seminal vesicles are rarely reported in literature. We present a case of a 76-year-old male presenting with lower urinary tract symptoms initially perceived as symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia. The patient was investigated by employing a multimodality imaging approach of the prostate that included ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging, which resulted in an incidental finding of large multiloculated benign cysts originating from the prostate, confirmed by pathological study. This case report highlights the multimodality imaging approach in the detection and diagnosis of this rare disease.
前列腺或精囊的巨大多房性囊腺瘤在文献中鲜有报道。我们报告一例76岁男性患者,最初表现为下尿路症状,被认为是良性前列腺增生的症状。通过采用包括超声、计算机断层扫描和磁共振成像在内的前列腺多模态成像方法对该患者进行检查,偶然发现了起源于前列腺的大型多房性良性囊肿,经病理研究证实。本病例报告强调了多模态成像方法在这种罕见疾病的检测和诊断中的应用。
