ABSTRACT: Aim of the Work: The present wok aims to assess how to reach the optimum diagnosis of the nature and the
complications of lower genitourinary tract cyst in male patient using different
radiological imaging modalities. Patients and Methods: 1000
male patients were evaluated with pelvic ultrasound and if lower genitourinary
tract cysts were present, the patients were further subjected to either
trans-rectal ultrasound (TRUS), TRUS guided aspiration for presence of spermatozoa, TRUS
guided seminal vesiculography or CT urography in order to reach the origin of
the cyst and the complications of its presence. Results: 14 cases were detected with lower genitourinary tract cysts among our
patients with an overall incidence 1.4%; among them 3 patients
with mid line prostatic cysts showed normal seminal analysis; 1 patient with prostatic cyst was infertile; 3 patients were detected
with infravesical cysts after transurethral resection prostatectomy; 2 cases
with small retention cysts were associated with benign prostatic
hyperplasia; 1 case was detected with prostatic abscess; 1 patient was detected
with unilateral ureterocele; 1 patient was detected with
large pelvi abdominal unilateral seminal vesicle cyst; 1 patient
was with unilateral ejaculatory duct cyst; 1 patient with small cystic dilation of
prostatic urethra was associated with urethral stone.
