title: Diagnosis and treatment of midline prostatic cysts.
abstract: We report three patients with midline prostatic cysts (simple, n=1; complex, n=2) that presented with low ejaculate volume and hematospermia. Transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) revealed a midline prostatic cystic structure that could represent either an ejaculatory duct cyst or a Müllerian duct cyst. In one patient, the ejaculatory duct cyst was confirmed by identification of spermatozoa at microscopic analysis of fluid obtained by TRUS-guided needle aspiration. The two other patients underwent transurethral incision of the cyst with complete resolution of symptoms.
