section prostatectomy, the diagnosis can be reached from

of prostatic urethra.
6. Conclusion
Lower genitourinary tract cystic lesions are very uncom-

the complications of the cysts can be reached through
good combination between various radiological imaging
modalities, which is essential to reach the optimum way
of management.
