Cystadenoma of the seminal vesicle

Abstract

Primary tumors of the seminal vesicle are quite rare with most reported cases being carcinomas. However, benign tumors of the seminal vesicle are extremely rare. We report a case of a cystadenomas of the seminal vesicles in a 46-year-old asymptomatic man, which was detected incidentally by computed tomography.

Cystadenoma in a seminal vesicle is cured by laparoscopic ablation

“…The stromal cells show no reactivity for the S-100 protein, but irregular weak positive reactions for smooth muscle actin. 3 We report a 31-year-old man who presented with recurrent haematospermia. An MRI of the pelvis revealed a mass that consisted of both cystic (maximal diameter of 8.8 cm) and solid elements (4.4 cm) (Figure 1).…”

“…1 In some cases, cystadenoma of the seminal vesicle was an incidental finding of an asymptomatic mass. 2,3 The majority of patients present with symptoms of urinary outflow obstruction, haematuria or haematospermia. [4][5][6] The wide variety of presenting features might result from variations in the size and location of the retrovesical mass.…”

“…2,3 Open surgery includes transperineal, transvesical, paravesical, retrovesical and transcoccygeal approaches. In one case, radical cystoprostatectomy, low anterior resection of the rectum and orthotopic neobladder reconstruction were performed.…”

“…In one case, radical cystoprostatectomy, low anterior resection of the rectum and orthotopic neobladder reconstruction were performed. 1, 3 The surgical removal of seminal vesicle tumours via open surgery has become much more difficult. A transvesical approach is believed to be the best surgical approach because it enables full exposure and complete excision of the tumour with minimal risk of damage to the rectum and the bladder nerves.…”

Rare primary seminal vesicle cystadenoma: computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging findings

“…Benign primary tumors including cystadenomas are even rarer than malignant neoplasms 12. Herein, we report a 71-year-old man with cystadenoma of the seminal vesicle.…”
