Seminal vesicle cysts combined with ipsilateral renal agenesis are a rare urological anomaly. We present a 24-year-old single man who suffered from difficulty urinating and irritative voiding symptoms for 4 years. The symptoms worsened in the last 6 months. A physical examination revealed right cryptorchidism with a pelvic mass. Digital rectal examination revealed a palpable large soft mass behind the prostate.
Diagnostic imaging (ultrasound, IV urography, computed tomography scan, and magnetic resonance imaging) showed a right seminal vesicle cyst. The ipsilateral kidney and ureter were absent. Open surgery cystectomy was performed, improving urinary symptoms.
