A 43-year-old man with dysuria and a 34-year-old man with urinary frequency and nocturia. (a) Coronal T2-weighted image demonstrating the origin of the cyst from the right seminal vesicle with ureteric remnant (arrow). (b) Axial T2-weighted image showing a tortuous dilated tubulosaccular structure (arrow) with hyperintensities posterior to the urinary bladder on the right. (c) Contrast-enhanced coronal fat-saturated T1-weighted image showing that the cyst (arrow) does not enhance with intravenous contrast and is associated with right renal agenesis. (d) Axial T2-weighted image showing a large hyperintense proteinaceous cyst in the right seminal vesicle (arrow).
