Abstract

A combination of magnetic resonance (MR) methods (T2‐weighted MRI, proton MR spectroscopy, and dynamic contrast enhancement) gives the highest sensitivity and specificity for identification of prostate cancer by MRI. The prostate MR findings of a patient with a congenital cystic disease of seminal vesicle are presented. To our knowledge, this is the only case described in the literature. The MR examination resulted in a false‐positive indication of prostate cancer.
