Anterior prostatic cyst causing acute urinary retansion in a young patient

Abstract

Prostatic cysts are rare entities. Mostly, they originate from the posterior area of the prostate and asymptomatic. Anterior location of the prostatic cyst is rarer than posterior. The prostatic cyst in a 41 year-old man presenting with acute urinary retansion. Transurethral resection (TUR) of the cyst was performed, which revealed a benign cyst lined with columnar epithelium and proliferative urothelial lining on histopathological evaluation. Prostatic cysts particularly in young men with obstructive lower urinary tract symptoms are rarely seen. Management of
the prostatic cyst with TUR seems to be a minimally invasive approach with successful outcomes.
