  Presentamos el caso de un paciente de 13 años, monorreno de nacimiento, asintomático, sin otros antecedentes personales de interés, al que, durante un examen rutinario de su patología de base, se le realiza ecografía abdominal en la que se visualiza un probable quiste ureteral con una dilatación de la vesícula seminal compatible con un probable síndrome de Zinner.

  Zinner syndrome is a rare urological entity characterized by unilateral cystic dilation of a seminal vesicle together with atrophy or ipsilateral renal agenesis. Patients remain asymptomatic in most cases and their diagnosis is incidental. The treatment of choice is surgical when symptoms occur or affect the patient´s fertility.

  We report the case of a 13-year-old asymptomatic boy born with a single-kidney with no other personal history of interest. During a routine examination of his underlying pathology, abdominal ultrasound was performed where a probable ureteral cyst with seminal vesicle dilation compatible with probable Zinner syndrome was observed.
