METHODSUnder the transrectal ultrasound guidance, 3 cases of prostate Müllerian duct cyst were treated by 20 G needle puncture and ethanol injection, and closely followed up by ultrasonic monitored on follow-up examinations.
RESULTSAll the cysts involuted completely 6 months after the treatment. Symptoms caused by ejaculatory duct obstruction were relieved in all the patients. No severe complications occurred.
CONCLUSIONTransrectal ultrasound-guided ethanol sclerotherapy is an effective and safe method for the treatment of Müllerian duct cyst accompanied with ejaculatory duct obstruction.
