Symptomatic cystic seminal vesicle: a laparoscopic approach for effective treatment

Abstract

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.

“…Dysfunctional migration of the ureteric bud indicates a failure to join with the metanephros. This is likely to hinder the ureteric bud as the main cause in the differentiation of the metanephric blastemal, and ipsilateral renal agenesis will be generated that will block the ejaculatory duct[3]. The cause of the result was inadequate flow and subsequent expansion of the seminal vesicle indicating a cystic structure [4].…”
