Abstract
-
Seminal vesicle cysts have been rarely detected. Most of them are caused congenitally, and two- thirds of them are accompanied with ipsilateral renal agenesis or dysplasia. They are usually present with dysuria, urinary frequency, perineal pain, epididymitis, pain after ejaculation, scrotal pain or infertility in the second to fourth decade of patient's life. Occasionally cysts are palpable by digital rectal examination, but radiologic imaging study is necessary to diagnose.
We report a case of an infant with seminal vesicle cyst accompanied with ipsilateral renal agenesis detected incidentally in postnatal sonogram. The infant's right side of kidney was diagnosed as antenatally multicystic dysplastic kidney.
