Verumontanum Cyst Associated With Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms in an Adolescent.
Urinary tract polyps occur anywhere from the renal pelvis to the anterior urethra. Lower tract polyps occur less frequently than upper tract polyps and are a rare finding in children. Symptoms include obstruction, dysfunctional voiding, or hematuria. We report the case of a 17-year-old male who presented with persistent leakage of urine following voiding. Ultrasound demonstrated a small cystic lesion in the posterior aspect of the prostate and a voiding cystourethrogram was suggestive of a utricular cyst or polyp. He underwent a cystoscopy that demonstrated a large cystic structure originating from the verumontanum, nearly obstructing the prostatic urethra.
