[Seminal vesicle cyst accompanied by unilateral hydronephrosis]

Area of Science:

• Urology
• Radiology
• Medical Imaging

Background:

• Seminal vesicle cysts are uncommon congenital anomalies.
• Typically, they present as unilateral, benign retrovesical masses.
• Associated ipsilateral renal anomalies are frequently observed.

Observation:

• This report describes a rare case of likely bilateral seminal vesicle cysts.
• The patient presented with a retrovesical cystic tumor.
• Concurrent unilateral hydronephrosis was noted.

Findings:

• The case suggests that bilateral seminal vesicle cysts can occur.
• The presence of hydronephrosis indicates potential urinary tract obstruction.
• Diagnostic imaging confirmed the cystic nature and location of the masses.

Implications:

• This case expands the understanding of seminal vesicle cyst presentation.
• It highlights the importance of considering bilateral involvement in seminal vesicle cyst diagnosis.
• Further investigation into the association between seminal vesicle cysts and renal anomalies is warranted.
