Figure 1
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed that there was a cyst from the kidney fossa to the seminal vesicle fossa. (A): The seminal vesicle was cystic and compressed the bladder from outside (arrow pointing downward). The dilated ureter entered the expanded left seminal vesicle. (B): The right urinary tract was visible (arrows pointing right) under MRU, whereas the left one was absent. The left kidney was dysgenetic and cystic, and the left ureter was dilated (arrows pointing left).
Figure 2
Figure 2
The specimen was a membranous cyst. One edge was the agenetic left kidney (arrowhead). Next to the agenetic left kidney was the dilated ureter (long arrow) and the seminal vesicle (short arrow). The image obtained by microscopy of the surgical specimen is shown by the arrow pointing left.
Figure 3
Figure 3
(A): A glomerulus and renal tubules (arrows pointing right), as well as expanded epididymal ducts filled with abnormal sperm (arrow pointing left), were in the wall of the agenetic kidney (hematoxylin and eosin, original magnification, × 40). (B): The cells covering the epididymis had cilia (arrow pointing upward) (hematoxylin and eosin, original magnification, × 400).
