Abstract

Seminal vesicle cysts are a congenital urological anomaly. They are present from birth but become symptomatic during the second and third decades of life. A 5-year-old male patient presented with mild lower abdominal (hypogastric) pain, which occasionally increased during defecation. An ultrasound was performed, revealing an anechoic, rounded image with well-defined walls consistent with a seminal vesicle cyst. The chosen therapeutic approach was puncture and aspiration drainage of the lesion. Regarding imaging techniques, the gold standard is Computed Tomography (CT) scan. Benign seminal vesicle tumors are extremely rare in childhood and may go unnoticed due to the mild symptoms. Treatment strategies have focused on surgical removal via laparoscopy as the best option.
