A 38-year-old man was referred to our hospital with perineal and micturition pain. Transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) revealed a cystic mass in the outer prostate. Pelvic cyst and left renal agenesis were confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computerized tomography (CT), and we diagnosed seminal vesicle cyst. The symptoms have since subsided, the possibility of sterility has been ruled out, and the patient is showing good improvement.
