Giant cyst of the seminal vesicle associated with ipsilateral renal agenesis

Cyst of the seminal vesicles represent a rare but illustrative type of embryologic malformation whose etiology is associated with an abnormal development of the mesonephric or Wolffian duct. Frequently these malformations are associated with an abnormal development of the ipsilateral upper urinary tract. The initial evaluation of the majority of cases is performed with abdominal or transrectal ultrasound. Considering the possible need of other diagnostic procedures to confirm the diagnosis, ultrasonography is safe in the majority of cases. The treatment of these urologic malformations should be restricted to symptomatic cases and usually consists of vesiculectomy, with of without, removal of the displastic or histoplastic kidney. We present a case of a right mesonephric duct malformation with a giant seminal vesicle associated with ipsilateral kidney agenesis and severe oligozoospermia, that presented with sporadic episodes of hemospermia and urinary complaints.
