title: Prostatic cyst: report of 2 cases.
abstract: Prostatic cysts are rarely reported in the literature, however, their existence is not so rare as one may think. Two cases of prostatic cyst were found among 400 patients being examined by transrectal ultrasonography. The clinical manifestations of a cyst ranged from totally asymptomatic to urinary retention depending on cyst size and location. The diagnosis was attained by rectal examination, panendoscopy, cystourethrography and transrectal ultrasonography. The first case received an open prostatectomy and the second case was managed by puncture of a cyst.
