A giant retrovesical cystic mass: A rarest of rare with a management dilemma

A giant retrovesical cystic mass: A rarest of rare with a management dilemma

A 32-year-old man investigated for subfertility and bladder outlet obstruction. He had a palpable pelvic mass and computerized tomography (CT) pelvis demonstrated that a large cystic mass (15cm) arising from right side seminal vesicle, and another small cyst from left side seminal vesicle with unila...
