Case Discussion

The differentials for prostate cysts include Mullerian duct cysts and Utricle cysts.

Mullerian duct cysts are usually detected in the third to fourth decade, communication with urethra/bladder is uncommon and usually not associated with other genitourinary anomalies.

Utricle cysts are usually detected in the first and second decade of life, communication with urethra/bladder is common and are associated with other genitourinary anomalies.
