We report a case of a rare congenital malformation, a urogenital sinus cyst in a young patient with non-specific symptoms for several months. A 21-year-old male presented with vague and intermittent abdominal pain. Ultrasound scan showed a retrovesical hypoechoic collection (approximately 6 cm) and left renal agenesis, compatible with a possible congenital malformation. These findings were confirmed by MRI. A laparoscopic excision of the cyst was performed with no complications. Pathology report confirmed a urogenital sinus cyst. The postoperative recovery was uneventful and the patient was discharged within 48 h. Urogenital sinus cysts are rare entities with few cases described in the literature. Imaging techniques such as ultrasound, CT or MRI may help with diagnosis. Therapeutic modalities range from observation to needle aspiration or surgical removal. In our case, we chose a laparoscopic approach to minimize morbidity and achieve an early recovery. |
