Abstract
Prostatic utricle cyst is one of the uncommon conditions and only a few cases have been reported. We present a case of
unusually large prostatic utricle cyst in a 13- year- old male. He presented with burning urination and post-void dribbling
of urine. A cystic mass was felt on digital per rectal examination. Ultrasound pelvis revealed a well-de ned midline cystic
mass posterior to the urinary bladder. Subsequent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the pelvis demonstrated uid
containing cystic lesion communicating with posterior urethra. Surgical resection of the cyst was performed through the
posterior sagittal approach. Follow up of the patient after three months of operation, there was complete resolution of
the symptoms.
Key words: Prostatic utricle cyst, MRI, Ultrasound
