Cystic papillary adenoma of the seminal vesicle

Abstract

Background Primary Seminal Vesicle (SV) tumours are a rare entity, with most SV masses representing invasion of the SV by malignancy originating in an adjacent organ, most often the prostate. Previously reported primary SV epithelial tumours have included adenocarcinoma and cystadenoma, with limited prior reports of inracystic papillary structures. Case presentation A 35-year-old male presented with azoospermia, intermittent macroscopic haematuria, and mild right iliac fossa and groin pain. A papillary appearing seminal vesicle mass was found on imaging and seminal vesicoscopy. The mass was robotically excised with diagnosis of benign cystic papillary adenoma made. Conclusion In this manuscript we describe a rare case of a benign cystic papillary adenoma of the seminal vesicle, a unique histological entity differentiated from cystadenoma of the Seminal Vesicle by its papillary component.

“…However, cases of minimally invasive surgery for tumours on the seminal vesicle have been carried done. 12,13,14,15 Adjuvant radiotherapy or androgen deprivation has resulted in long term palliation in patients with advanced diseases 3,4 . Adjuvant chemotherapy has shown additional benefit in the management of advanced SVC.…”
