A Müllerian duct cyst (MDC) is the persistent remnant of the Müllerian duct. Reports of symptomatic cases are rare, signs and symptoms include perineal pain, dysuria, infertility, hematuria and genital inflammation. The prevalence of MDC has been previously reported as 4% of newborns and 1% in adult males. Herein we report six cases encountered in the past year. Our detection percentage was 1% and is compatible with the reported values. The imaging evaluation of symptomatic and asymptomatic patients with MDC is discussed as well as the apparent discrepancy between the number of previously reported cases and the reported prevalence.
The use of Ga-67 scintigraphy (Ga) in prostate inflammatory diseases may be restricted by the difficulty in distinguishing between the accumulation of Ga-67-citrate (Ga-citrate) in the lesion and feces. The diagnosis of prostatic abscess has been mainly made by other radiologic methods without scintigraphic studies and no finding of Ga has been reported. This patient demonstrated that coordinating the findings of Ga-citrate accumulation can be helpful in making a prompt diagnosis of a possibly fatal prostatic abscess, especially in those patients with poorly defined clinical symptoms and high risk factors.
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.
