Introduction
Subpubic cartilaginous cysts (SCCs) are rare.
Aim
This is the first reported case of a male patient presenting with neurological and sexual symptoms due to an SCC.
Method
We describe the clinical history of a patient who reported neuralgic pain, numbness in the groin and base of his penis, and loss of sexual function.
Results
A magnetic resonance imaging revealed the presence of an SCC with associated mass effect. A conservative approach was adopted and within 12 months, the cyst had decreased in size and his symptoms had improved.
Conclusions
Men who present with erectile dysfunction and neurological symptoms merit a thorough assessment including appropriate investigation to exclude organic pathology.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
