Abstract

Patients with seminal vesicle and epididymal cysts are mostly asymptomatic. To date, only one patient presenting with bloody ejaculate and acute scrotum has been reported. Different extrarenal manifestations and the association of adult polycystic kidney disease (APKD) with some connective tissue diseases are known. We report on a 60-year-old male patient with bloody ejaculate and acute scrotum who had been diagnosed as having APKD 1 year earlier and whose past medical history revealed inflammatory low back pain, psoriasis, and the diagnosis of psoriatic arthritis. Cultures of urine and ejaculate were sterile, and the patient's renal functions were normal. Ultrasound showed epididymal and seminal vesicle cysts in addition to hepatic and renal cysts. Our case is the first in which psoriatic arthritis accompanied APKD, seminal vesicle cysts, and epididymal cysts. We also review other APKD cases that have accompanied seminal vesicle cysts.
