Arch Androl. 2005 Sep-Oct;51(5):367-9. doi: 10.1080/014850190924467.

Abstract

Seminal vesicle cysts combined with ipsilateral renal agenesis is a rare congenital anomaly. We report an extreme case whose image resembles megaureter and hydronephrosis. A standard nephrectomy was performed and spermatozoa with flattened, cuboidal, and pseudostratified epithelium was found microscopically. The diagnosis of seminal vesicle cyst was confirmed.
