Abstract
We report a case of a 24-year-old male patient with cystic dilatation of the seminal vesicle associated with renal agenesis and megaureter. This patient complained of left renal colic with pollakiuria. We perfo rmed intravenous urography and ultrasound showed a cyst in the seminal vesicle associated with left megaureter and right renal agenesis. Tre atment consisted of resection of the cyst and reimplantation of the le ft ureter into the bladder. No postoperative complications were observ ed. This association is rare and can be explained by the common embryo logical origin of the seminal vesicle and kidney and ureter. Its diagn osis is now facilitated by ultrasound and CT. The treatment of this tu mor is surgical only when the lesions are responsible for clinical sym ptoms.
