Seminal vesicle cyst associated with homolateral renal agenesis: report of three cases

摘要

The combination of seminal vesicle cyst and homolateral renal agenesis is a rare congenital anomaly. However, this anomaly is diagnosed more frequently due to progress in medical imaging. The authors report three cases of seminal vesicle cyst associated with ipsilateral renal agenesis in two cases and ectopic ureter in one case. All cases presented nonspecific clinical symptoms. The diagnosis was suspected on imaging (ultrasound and computed tomography). Treatment was surgical in two cases and endoscopic in one case. The authors review the literature on the aetiology and pathogenesis of seminal vesicle cyst, its association with homolateral renal agenesis and diagnostic and therapeutic methods.
