“…However, this prevalence rate may be underreported, because of a few articles have reported a prevalence of 5 % in urologic patients. 6 Some authors believe that the MDC is connected to the urethra via a fused stalk and the prostatic utricle cyst (PUC) opens directly into the urethra on histopathological examination. 7 However, it is not easy to demonstrate the difference between MDC and PUC.…”

ysts of the lower male genitourinary tract divided into two groups: intraprostatic and extraprostatic. Intraprostatic cysts classification may be evaluated in 3 titles: median cysts (prostatic utricle, mullerian duct), paramedian cysts (ejaculatory duct) and lateral cysts (prostatic retention cysts, cystic degeneration of benign prostate hyperplasia, prostatic abscess, cysts associated with tumors).1 In spite of the development in radiological imaging and pathological assessment techniques, the differential diagnosis of median intraprostatic cysts is still not easy.2 In general, symptoms occur in early ages of life.1 Particularly presenting with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) is very rare. 3 CASE REPORTA 34-year-old fertile man with no significant medical and surgical history was admitted to our clinic with obstructive LUTS present for 8 years. His symptoms worsened during the last 12 months and International Prostate Turkiye Klinikleri J Urology 2015;6(1) 23A Rare Case of Intraprostatic Median Cyst Presenting with Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms A AB BS ST TR RA AC CT T Intraprostatic cysts are usually asymptomatic and uncommon. In this kind of cysts, lower urinary tract symptoms are unexpected. Due to similar embryological structure and radiological imaging, the differential diagnosis of intraprostatic cysts is difficult. However, clinical aspects can be useful in differential diagnosis. Herein, we report a case of intraprostatic median cyst with lower urinary tract symptoms in fourth decade of his life. We also discuss the differential diagnosis of median intraprostatic cysts on the based on this case. Ya zış ma Ad re si/Cor res pon den ce:

The unique appearance of a midline prostatic cyst is reported. The cyst presented as a round-shaped filling defect at the base of the urinary bladder during an intravenous pyelography study. Transabdominal sonography showed the mass to be a midline prostatic cyst. The sonographic features of the mass and its location are the hallmark of a müllerian duct prostatic cyst. Midline prostatic cysts are discussed and the features differentiating müllerian duct cysts from utricle cysts are emphasized.

“…Recently, the value of MRI as an adjunct to clinical and sonographic assessment in complex cases has been studied. Because of its ability to provide high-resolution images in all three orthogonal planes, MRI can be very helpful in demonstrating the exact anatomical location and extent of the cystic lesion with respect to the prostate gland [3][4][5][6][7].…”

“…They are of endodermal origin and are the most common congenital prostatic cysts. As they may be associated with pseudohermaphroditism, hypospadias, cryptorchism and unilateral renal agenesis, they are often diagnosed in childhood [1,3,5,6]. Müllerian duct cysts, on the other hand, are of mesodermal origin.…”

Congenital cysts in the midline of the prostate gland can cause obstruction of the ejaculatory ducts leading to congestion and dilation of the seminal vesicles with the result of small volume ejaculate or infertility. We report the case of a patient who underwent transrectal ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging for evaluation of primary male infertility. The images obtained revealed a congenital cyst of the prostate gland. Transurethral marsupialization of the cyst subsequently resulted in normalization of the semen analysis and restitution of the patient’s fertility.
