Giant multilocular cystadenomas of the prostate or seminal vesicles are rarely reported in literature. We present a case of a 76-year-old male presenting with lower urinary tract symptoms initially perceived as symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia. The patient was investigated by employing a multimodality imaging approach of the prostate that included ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging, which resulted in an incidental finding of large multiloculated benign cysts originating from the prostate, confirmed by pathological study. This case report highlights the multimodality imaging approach in the detection and diagnosis of this rare disease.
