Sumario:Zinner syndrome is a rare developmental anomaly of the distal Wolffian duct. It is characterized by a triad of unilateral renal agenesis, cysts in the ipsilateral seminal vesicle, and ipsilateral obstruction of the ejaculatory duct. While some patients are asymptomatic and diagnosed incidentally, other patients may present with symptoms related to obstructed ejaculatory ducts and seminal vesicle cysts. We report a unique case of a 32-year-old male who presented with pelvic pain for three days.
