ABSTRACT
Seminal vesicle cysts are usually congenital and frequently accompanied by upper urinary tract abnormalities due to mesonephric duct maldevelopment. Zinner syndrome, first described in 1914, refers to a triad of features consisting of seminal vesicle cysts, ejaculatory duct obstruction, and unilateral (mostly ipsilateral) renal agenesis. We herein present four pediatric patients with Zinner syndrome diagnosed at a children's medical center. A remnant ureteral structure was observed in three (75%) patients. Interestingly, a multicystic dysplastic kidney was present in one (25%) patient before it eventually disappeared. These findings suggest possible involvement of renal dysgenesis rather than agenesis in Zinner syndrome.
