Seminal vesicle cyst forming an abscess and fistula with the rectum Review of perianal drainage and treatment

Abstract

The clinical presentation and treatment modalities of seminal vesical abscesses are not well documented. The first case of a seminal vesicle cyst which formed an abscess after transrectal aspiration with subsequent formation of a fistula with the rectum is reported herein. The abscess was drained perianally, an approach that has not previously been reported. A brief comparison of the reported treatment modalities is also provided.

• Seminal vesicle abscess
• rectal fistula
• perianal drainage
