Abstract

Introduction:
Prostatic cyst is an uncommon disease, especially large one, which need to be differentiated from prostatic neoplastic masses, prostatic non-neoplastic masses and periprostatic neoplastic masses.
Case Report: A 63-year-old male who had dysuria for three years and could not urinate for three days. Initially, he was diagnosed as prostatic hyperplasia by color Doppler ultrasound. After further examinations with prostate-specific antigen (PSA), computed tomography (CT) scan, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan, cystoscopy and transrectal ultrasound-guided aspiration, he was diagnosed as prostatic cyst. The size of prostatic cyst was 9.2x4.9 cm. Two weeks after diagnosis patient received an open surgery through perianal incision to remove all content in the cyst and clean this large prostatic cyst. Patient is still seen for follow-up visits every two months to further assess the treatment. Conclusion: Ultrasound, CT scan and MRI scan together help to get final diagnosis of prostatic cyst. The surgery of prostate cyst excision we performed improved outcome although we still need to follow our patient for longer time. | |
