title: Midline prostatic cysts in healthy men: incidence and transabdominal sonographic findings.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The purpose of this study was to use transabdominal sonography to investigate the incidence of midline prostatic cysts in healthy men.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Midline prostatic cysts represent a common variant in asymptomatic men. In a patient with urologic symptoms, detection of a midline prostatic cyst requires a focused examination to determine whether the cyst represents a normal variant or is the cause of symptoms.
