Objectives:
We report one case of seminal vesicle cyst with ectopic drainage of the left ureter. We performed a bibliographic review of this pathology.
Methods:
23-year-old patient who presented several episodes of acute epididymitis. Complementary study showed a retroprostatic cystic structure on transrectal ultrasound. Surgical treatment with resection of the cystic structure was proposed.
Results:
The clinical picture which caused the process was solved and the patient keeps his fertility.
Conclusions:
This is a rather infrequent pathology that urologists should know. We bring up the need of performing complementary studies in pathologies that in spite of seeming banal do not progress satisfactorily.
