Seminal vesicle cyst

Congenital seminal vesicle cysts are rare, usually found after puberty, often with ejaculatory duct obstruction, hemospermia and urinary infection; they may compress the bladder or urethra causing voiding difficulty, and a few are found incidentally on rectal exam.

Common Symptoms

Voiding disorder; frequency; hematuria; hemospermia; enlarged seminal vesicle; high semen volume; cyst; dysuria

Causes

Congenital cysts arise either from the vesicle itself or from abnormal mesonephric duct development; remnants of the paramesonephric/mesonephric ducts persist as tubular or vesicular structures in the testis, epididymis or vesicle, some forming cysts.

Treatment

Observation, surgery when symptomatic

Prevention

Monitor; treat associated infection.
