Seminal vesicle cyst with ipsilateral renal agenesis

AJR Am J Roentgenol. 2000 Jul;175(1):177-80. doi: 10.2214/ajr.175.1.1750177.

Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this study was to review the clinical symptoms and imaging features of a seminal vesicle cyst associated with renal agenesis.

Conclusion: Patients with seminal vesicle cysts associated with renal agenesis may present with symptoms of bladder irritation or obstruction and with an abdominal or pelvic mass revealed on physical examination. Differentiation of a seminal vesicle cyst from other pelvic cystic masses may be determined with a spectrum of imaging techniques including excretory urography, sonography, CT, and MR imaging.
