  • Title: [Obstructive urinary symptoms associated with giant cyst of seminal vesicle].
    Author: Favorito LA, Toledo Filho Jde S, Rubinstein M, Silva EA.
    Journal: Arch Esp Urol; 2002 May; 55(4):441-3. PubMed ID: 12094490.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: Seminal vesicle cysts are rare diseases and frequently cause no symptoms. An acquired giant seminal vesicle cyst in a 73-year-old man is presented. Bladder outlet obstruction was the main complaint, mimicking that arising from the prostate. METHODS: Ultrasonography and computed tomography revealed a well-defined, homogeneous, retrovesical cystic mass. Urinary tract was normal. RESULTS: A CT-guided drainage of the cystic mass was performed and urinary symptoms disappeared. The cystic mass recurred at 6 months' follow-up. Treatment was by surgery, which confirmed the seminal vesicle origin of the cyst. CONCLUSIONS: Acquired seminal vesicle cysts may cause bladder outlet obstruction.
