ABSTRACT
Midline prostatic cysts are infrequent and mostly asymptomatic. We presented a striking case of a giant midline cyst and detailed its diagnosis, evolution, and treatment. From this case, we offered a comparison of congenital intraprostatic midline cysts, namely, Müllers cysts and utricle cysts. A 40-year-old male experienced recurrent urinary retention. A 10 × 11 mm2 cyst in the mid-prostatic region was diagnosed through transrectal ultrasound, leading to a transperineal puncture as a minimally invasive intervention. Seven years later, the cyst recurred, manifesting obstructive symptoms such as a weak urinary stream, frequent urination, and residual urine sensation. Laparoscopic surgery was then performed for the confirmed 98 × 13 mm2 cystic recurrence. The postoperative course was favourable with no complications. Symptoms were completely resolved, which was maintained over a three-year follow-up period. The therapeutic approach to midline cysts targets symptomatic cases or infertility, ranging from cyst puncture to transurethral endoscopic treatment. Recurrence after minimally invasive interventions is a challenge, with laparoscopic surgery as an alternative post-failed conservative approach. Although total cyst removal risks adjacent structure damage, marsupialisation improves the clinical outcomes. In summary, symptomatic midline prostatic cysts present challenges owing to recurrences after minimally invasive approaches. Enhanced laparoscopic techniques offer a solution, particularly in highly symptomatic cases requiring definitive treatment, as illustrated by this outstanding case report. (AU)
