Abstract
The prostatic cysts are uncommon lesions usually detected incidentally. The incidence is
reported as less than 1% most often occurs as small & asymptomatic lesions located
medially in the gland, when they get a big size causes different lower urinary tract
symptoms. Only 5% are symptomatic. The symptoms depend on the size & location of the
lesion. Minimal access surgery (endoscopic) is recommended for its treatment. We present
a case with the diagnosis of Prostatic cyst at the bladder neck treated with transurethral
resection of the lesion. Histopathological investigation revealed benign prostatic cyst. At
six months of follow up the patient remains free of symptoms.
