Laparoscopic excision of huge seminal vesicle cyst in Zinner syndrome

This is the case of a 45-year-old male who presented with dysuria and gross hematuria. Ultrasonography and computed tomography revealed an enormous pelvic cystic lesion and a right nephromegaly but an invisible left kidney. Using the imaging findings, the patient was diagnosed with Zinner syndrome. Transperitoneal laparoscopic excision of the cyst was performed for symptom relief. At post-treatment, the symptoms disappeared, and sexual function remained. Seminal vesicle cysts have been commonly reported in previous studies but rarely in this case. Furthermore, most previous studies have documented surgical excision of <10 cm cysts. However, a ∼12.5-cm seminal vesicle cyst was excised with the laparoscopic method without any perioperative complication in this case.
