Abstract

Seminal vesicle cysts are uncommon and rarely symptomatic. They are generally seen at younger ages in parallel with increased sexual activity. A 62-year-old patient presented with prostatism symptoms. Transrectal ultrasonography and computed tomography showed a cystic mass with a thick and irregular wall in the right seminal vesicle. The cyst was aspirated via the transrectal approach and the histopathologic diagnosis was benign. The patient’s symptoms improved within a three-month follow-up. Seminal vesicle cyst should be considered in the differential diagnosis of prostatism symptoms in aged patients.

Özet

Seminal vezikül kistleri seyrektir ve nadiren semptom verir. Genellikle cinsel aktivitenin arttığı genç yaşlarda ortaya çıkar. Altmış iki yaşında, prostatizm semptomları ile başvuran bir hastada transrektal ultrasonografi ve bilgisayarlı tomografi ile sağ seminal vezikülde kalın ve düzensiz duvarlı kistik kitle saptandı. Kist içeriği transrektal olarak aspire edildi. Patolojik incelemede kitlenin benign olduğu belirlendi. Üçüncü ay kontrolünde hastanın semptomlarının gerilediği görüldü. İleri yaştaki olgularda prostatizm kliniği ayırıcı tanısında seminal vezikül kisti de düşünülmelidir.
