MRI has emerged as a diagnostic tool in identifying these conditions. Prostatic utricle is an enlarged diverticulum in the posterior urethra, which results from incomplete degradation of the M\u00fcllerian ducts or decreased androgenic stimulation of the urogenital sinus. Prostatic utricle is an uncommon congenital anomalies, with 1% incidence in autopsy findings and clinical prevalence of 5% in urologic patients.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>This retrospective study analyzed 5819 prostate MRI interpretations from 4990 unique patients. The primary objective was to identify congenital abnormalities, focusing on the presence of a utricle and other related anomalies. Prostates suspected to have utricles were reevaluated by genitourinary specialized radiologist and utricles size were measured.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The study identified 127 patients positive for a utricle with an average age of 66 years at examination among the unique cohort.

Statistical analysis did not demonstrate any statistical trend between prostate size, age or PSA to utricle size.
