title: Posterior urethral diverticulum presenting as a midline prostatic cyst: sonographic and MRI appearance.
abstract: A midline cystic structure in the prostate most commonly represents a Mullerian duct cyst or dilated utricle. We describe the sonographic and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) appearance of a rare diverticulum of the posterior urethra presenting as a midline prostatic cyst.
