“…Numerous case reports have been published on seminal vesicle cysts (SVCs) in adult patients and adolescents [1,2]. SVCs can be congenital or acquired; acquired SVCs are usually associated with inflammation and subsequent obstruction of the ejaculatory duct and SV.…”

OBJECTIVE To determine whether the association of seminal vesicle cyst (SVC) and renal anomaly in young children correlates with previously reported cases of SVCs in adolescent and adult patients, as congenital SVCs, although rare, are frequently described in association with ipsilateral renal agenesis, mainly in adolescent and adult patients, whereas reports on SVCs in younger children are sparse. PATIENTS AND METHODS We report on nine infants (median age 4 months) with congenital SVCs, all of them associated with ipsilateral dysplastic kidneys. All patients had ultrasonography of the renal system and voiding cysto‐urethrography. Magnetic resonance imaging was used in two patients. RESULTS The SVCs were found incidentally during ultrasonography for the renal anomaly. Three patients had dysplastic and six had multicystic dysplastic kidneys. In previous reported adult cases of SVCs the most common associated renal anomaly was agenesis of the ipsilateral kidney (25 of 44 cases), whereas only one case of dysplastic kidney was reported. CONCLUSION As the appearance of renal agenesis might result from a former congenital dysplastic kidney, our findings indicate that cases of ipsilateral renal agenesis in adult patients with congenital SVCs might represent former dysplastic or multicystic dysplastic kidney.

“…These studies are limited by small numbers of subjects and lack control groups. For example, Chen et al identified 13 patients with seminal vesicle cysts, all of whom had ipsilateral renal anomalies [17]. Gevenois et al studied 11 patients without polycystic kidney disease, who had concurrent symptoms of prostatic hypertrophy or acute prostatitis, and found five cases with unilateral seminal vesicle cysts (likely acquired) [9].…”

“…These anomalies are associated with ipsilateral renal agenesis in 70% of patients. 1,6 Other anomalies may include renal dysplasia, ectopic ureteral orifice, hydroureter or vertebral deformity.

This case report highlights a symptomatic cystic seminal vesicle lesion, treated laparoscopically. A young adult male known to have congenital right renal agenesis presented with a history of recurrent right iliac fossa pain, as well as deep pelvic discomfort. The preoperative evaluation revealed a 7 x 4.5 x 4 cm cystic seminal vesicle mass. After discovery of the mass, the patient underwent a transperitoneal laparoscopic excision of the lesion. The patient was discharged on the third postoperative day and had an uneventful recovery. There were no complications noted during a routine follow-up. The laparoscopic approach was shown to be effective in the management of this rare condition.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Seminal Vesicle Cyst Associated with Ipsilateral Urinary Anomalies

Abstract: Most seminal vesicle cysts were asymptomatic and did not change during long-term follow-up. MRI is a powerful tool for detecting seminal vesicle cysts and in delineating associated congenital anomalies of the urogenital tract.
