Abstract
Mullerian duct remnants presenting in childhood are often diagnosed incidentally and when symptomatic, typically present with recurrent infection and/or voiding disturbances. We present a rare unusual case of a male neonate who presented with a prenatally detected large pelvic cyst that turned out to be a giant prostatic utriculus.
