| Abstract | A 20-year-old male presented to the emergency department with lower abdominal pain, urinary retention, and constipation. Computed tomography (CT) revealed a large cyst on the posterior aspect of the prostate gland; he was ultimately diagnosed with a Müllerian duct cyst (MDC). Although much has been written on the radiologic diagnosis of such cysts, there is a paucity of recent literature concerning the pathological diagnosis. While older studies debated the Müllerian origin of a midline cyst abutting the poster prostate, we believe that with the advent of monoclonal PAX8 (which was positive in this lesion) and monoclonal PAX2 (which was negative), we have strong evidence that the present cyst is indeed of Müllerian origin. Further, there is debate in the literature as to whether MDC is synonymous or distinct from prostatic utricle cyst. We present an interdisciplinary analysis as to the merits and weaknesses of both sides of the debate and how data gathered from the current case could be used in a future, larger study to arrive at a more definitive conclusion. |
