Abstract:
Cystic lesions of the prostate are rare and often asymptomatic. Medial cysts are conventionally divided into so-called Müllerian duct cysts and prostatic utricle cysts which seems rather questionable in light of recent studies. We report a case of a patient with a 10-year history of dysuria. Diagnostic imaging was performed using 3 T prostate MRI with a body coil. Because of the potential risk of retrograde ejaculation with subsequent infertility and of incontinence by the transurethral resection, the interventional therapy of his utricle cyst was abandoned.
