Description
Summary:Cystadenomas of the seminal vesicles are extremely rare benign tumours. We have not been able to find more than 10 cases in the literature. A benign cystadenoma of the seminal vesicle is described in a 49-year-old man. The clinical presentation, gross appearance, microscopic characteristics, immunohistochemical and ultrastructural findings of this uncommon tumour are discussed. The purpose of this paper is to report an unusual case of cystadenoma of the seminal vesicle and review the 10 previously reported cases in the English literature.
