ABSTRACT
Ejaculatory duct cyst is an obstructive cause of male infertility, which can be corrected through surgical intervention. The present case describes the history, clinical development and diagnostic approach of a 43-year-old patient presenting with infertility (hypospermia) secondary to giant ejaculatory duct cyst. Management was cyst deroofing by means of transurethral resection of the verumontanum. There was considerable improvement in ejaculate volume and postoperative spermatobioscopy parameters.
