Seminal vesicle cyst with ipsilateral renal agenesis and ectopic ureter (Zinner syndrome).
The symptomatic presentation of seminal vesicle cysts with ipsilateral renal agenesis and ectopic ureter (Zinner syndrome) is rare. Patients are typically diagnosed at the third or the fourth decade of life and often present with infertility. Although the diagnosis can generally be made with magnetic resonance imaging, cystography can also be useful in indeterminate cases. We report on the unusual case of an 18-year-old man who presented with pelvic pain that was intensified by ejaculation. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a cystic structure in the area of the right seminal vesicle that was successfully excised robotically without complications.
