A Subpubic Cartilaginous Cyst Causing Neurological and Sexual Symptoms in a 69‐Year‐Old Man. (6th May 2014) - Wylie, Kevan Richard
Abstract Introduction Subpubic cartilaginous cysts (SCCs) are rare. Aim This is the first reported case of a male patient presenting with neurological and sexual symptoms due to an SCC. Method We describe the clinical history of a patient who reported neuralgic pain, numbness in the groin and base of his penis, and loss of sexual function. Results A magnetic resonance imaging revealed the presence of an SCC with associated mass effect. A conservative approach was adopted and within 12 months, the cyst had decreased in size and his symptoms had improved. Conclusions Men who present with erectile dysfunction and neurological symptoms merit a thorough assessment including appropriate investigation to exclude organic pathology.
