Abstract
Introduction: Mullerian duct cyst presenting as a large abdominopelvic cyst is a rare entity. A Mullerian
duct cyst represents an incomplete focal regression of the embryological Mullerian duct in a male. Case
Report: This is a case of a 55 year old gentleman presenting with a pelvic mass of chronic duration with a recent onset of pain
abdomen and obstructive urinary symptoms. Radiological imaging revealed a large centrally located cystic pelvic mass and
Left Hydroureteronephrosis. The patient underwent Left DJ stenting followed by an Explorative laprotomy and Marsupialization
of the cyst. It is prerogative to understand the development of the male urinary tract and the Conclusion: reproductive system to
diagnose rare midline pelvic pathologies and decide on surgical options for treatment of the same. In addition, the nal
diagnosis being dependent on the histology of such pelvic masses makes it an additional diagnostic challenge for the surgeons.
