“…In this case, a high level of PSA suggested a prostatic origin. Prostatic cyst can be categorized as either congenital or acquired [3]. Congenital cysts are associated with an abnormality in the paramesonephric (müllerian) duct or mesonephric (wolffian) duct [4].…”

This report details a case of prostatic cancer associated with cystic degeneration. A cystic mass may occur in the pelvis for various reasons. A congenital cyst is associated with an abnormality in the paramesonephric (müllerian) duct or mesonephric (wolffian) duct. An acquired cyst can be classified into three main types, retention, malignant and parasitic, however a cyst accompanying prostatic cancer is rare. In this particular case the size of the cyst under imaging was approximately 15 cm in diameter; this makes it one of the largest among those previously reported.

“…10 -12 The most frequently encountered lesions include prostatic utricle cysts, Mullerian duct cysts, ejaculatory duct, vas deferens or seminal vesicle cysts, and prostatic retention cysts. n-M Multiple clinical and pathology papers in the literature describe the clinical manifestations, embryology, and pathology of prostatic cysts, Mullerian duct cysts, or utricle cysts.u- 16 Most of these reports, however, do not correlate clinical or surgical findings with cross-sectional imaging methods, especially ultrasonography. The nature and origin of these lesions is either speculative or based only on surgical rather than pathologic confirmation.…”

277 patients underwent biplane transrectal ultrasonography. Twenty-two patients (7.9%) showed evidence of one or more intraprostatic cystic lesions. Histologic correlation was available with total prostatectomy specimens in six patients and surgical drainage in two patients. Sonographically, 11 patients showed one, 6 patients two, and 5 patients three or more intraprostatic cystic lesions. The size of the lesions ranged from 2 to 30 mm, and the majority of lesions were located within the central portion of the gland or at the junction of central and peripheral regions of the gland. Histologically, among the eight pathologically confirmed patients the lesions corresponded to cystically dilated, epitheliallined prostatic glands, a reepithelialized cyst related to previous biopsy, a dilated utricle, and two intraprostatic abscesses. The cystic lesions in our series were not associated with carcinoma of the prostate, but represented either a growth phenomenon related to the presence of benign prostatic hypertrophy, inflammatory conditions (abscesses), or anatomical variants (utricle).

“…Hydatid cysts lie close to but outside, the bladder and prostate. There is only one report of bilharzial ova seen in the wall of a cyst of the prostate and this may have been merely a coincidence (Emmett and Braasch, 1936). Cysts associated with carcinoma of the prostate may be due to cystic degeneration of a carcinoma of the prostate or the development of a carcinoma in the wall of an already present cyst.…”
