title: Use of endorectal surface coil magnetic resonance imaging for diagnosis of a multicystic seminal vesicle with ipsilateral renal agenesis.
abstract: We report a symptomatic multicystic seminal vesicle with ipsilateral renal agenesis in a 37-year-old man. Preoperatively the diagnosis could be suggested by different imaging modalities, including endorectal surface coil magnetic resonance imaging. To our knowledge, we present the 1st case of seminal vesicle cyst to be evaluated by magnetic resonance imaging using a rectal coil. The value of different imaging modalities is discussed.
