RESUMENLas lesiones quísticas localizadas en la línea media de la glándula prostática presentan una incidencia difícil de estimar, debido a que la mayoría son asintomáticas y suelen ser un hallazgo casual durante el estudio de otra patología urológica 1 . Presentamos el caso de un varón de 85 años que en el transcurso de un episodio de retención aguda de orina es diagnosticado de un quiste de retención prostático, y realizamos una revisión de la literatura.PALABRAS CLAVE: Quiste prostático, quiste de vesículas seminales, quiste del conducto mülleriano, divertículo del conducto eyaculatorio. ABSTRACTThe incidence of medial prostatic cysts is unknown, since most of them are asymptomatic, and usually appear as an incidental finding during the study of other urological disease. We report an 85 years old man with a urinary obstruction. Rectal palpation disclosed a mass that was adjacent to the prostate. Magnetic resonance showed a cystic lesion of the right seminal vesicle. The cyst was drained, obtaining 250 ml of fluid and urinary obstruction subsided. After three months of follow up, the patient remains asymptomatic.KEY WORDS: Prostatic cyst, seminal vesicle cyst, müllerian duct cyst, diverticulum of the ejaculatory duct.
