REPORT ON TWO CASES OF SEMINAL VESICLE CYST

Abstract

The authors of the present report have recently diagnosed two interesting cases of seminal vesicle cyst. In each case, the existence of the cyst was ascertained by the use of seminal vesiculography, and later, was confirmed by surgical operation.
The case (1) was a male, aged 38 and having one child. He came in with the complaint in dysuria. His vesiculogram revealed the finding of the left seminal vesicle cyst. The lesion was cured by suprapubic seminal vesiculectomy.
The case (2) was a male, aged 20 and unmarried. He visited us with the complaint in hemospermia. His vesiculogram revealed the finding of the bilateral seminal vesicle cysts, and moreover, his pyelogram revealed that he was of polycystic kidney. By suprapubic removal of the worst affected ampulla on the left side, his hemospermia was remarkably improved.
Such a case of the bilateral seminal vesicle cysts accompaning polycystic kidney is quite a rare one, the like of which has never been reported in past literature.
