Abstract:
Chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CPPS) in men is a complex pathological entity with a delicate nosological diagnosis and multiple etiological hypotheses dominated by urological causes. The Müllerian cyst has an embryological origin and is part of an organic anomaly of the male urogenital tract, incidentally detected during an initial infertility examination or in the presence of non-specific urinary symptoms. By its mass effect, it puts tension on the pelvic floor muscles and induces a stimulation of nerves which could explain its implication in the CPPS. Through this case report and literature review, we will clarify the etiopathogenesis and the diagnosis of CPPS as well as the approach to follow for better therapeutic management.
