Literature: (Galosi et al, 2009).
A utricle cyst (or Müllerian duct cyst) presents with a midline cyst of the prostate and has its origin from the utricle. Histologically, a high PSA expression is typical. Squamous epithelium is not typical for a utricle cyst.
In disorders of sex development, large (often cystic) pelvic masses may cause symptoms. The cystic structures in persisting Müllerian duct syndrome are, analogous to the vagina, often lined by squamous epithelium and sometimes uterine tissue can be identified (vagina masculina).
Cysts derived from seminal vesicles, seminal tract or prostate gland.

Ectopic ureterocele.
Small symptomatic prostatic cysts can be treated by transurethral resection [fig. transurethral unroofing of a prostatic cyst]. Large pelvic masses of the Müllerian duct system may need open surgery or laparoscopic surgery.
