REYES-CALDELAS, Miguel A.  and  GARCIA-DE LEON, Mauricio A.. Zinner syndrome: a rare embryological anomaly of the mesonephric ducts – Report of two cases and literature review. Rev. med. Hosp. Gen. Méx. [online]. 2020, vol.83, n.1, pp.38-41.  Epub Sep 06, 2021. ISSN 2524-177X.  https://doi.org/10.24875/hgmx.19000018.

We present the cases of two males in their forties who present with symptoms or previous history of urolithiasis and known unilateral renal agenesis. On computed tomography evaluations of both patients, cystic lesions of the seminal vesicles were seen with further evaluation by transrectal ultrasound, making the diagnosis of Zinner syndrome. This entity has an embryological background that cannot be unseen. The symptoms are very characteristic, but incidental diagnosis based on imaging is very frequent. Good outcomes by laparoscopic treatment have been described.

Keywords : Zinner syndrome; Renal agenesis; Seminal vesicle cyst.
