Case 85: Midline Prostatic Cyst || Ultrasound

 

Clinical Features:

A 38-year-old male patient came for a routine abdominal ultrasound scan.

Ultrasound Features:

A midline well-defined round anechoic cystic area is noted within the prostatic parenchyma.

Remember:

- Prostatic utricle cyst is very difficult or impossible to distinguish from a Müllerian duct cyst. It communicates with urethra & may contain spermatozoa on aspiration.

- Müllerian duct cysts usually occur in the 3rd & 4th decades of life, whereas prostatic utricle cysts are most often detected in the 1st & 2nd decades.
