Abstract:
A case history is presented of a seminal vesicular cyst which caused recurrent epididymitis in a young boy. Seminal vesicular cyst is an uncommon disorder and is usually asymptomatic. Endoscopic cannulation of the cyst has been found to be the most useful diagnostic test. At first, the patient was managed by dilation of the orifice of ejaculatory duct in order to facilitate drainage. However, he suffered from incontinence and sustained retrovesical cystic mass. We therefore excised the seminal vesicular cyst by transvesical approach.
