摘要

Dear Editor, We present here a case report of a benign seminal vesicle cystadenoma treated with laparoscopic ablation in a 31-year-old man.The clinical presentation,gross appearance,microscopic characteristics,immunohistochemical and ultrastructural findings of this uncommon tumour are discussed. Primary seminal vesicle tumours are rare and may be benign or malignant.Benign primary seminal vesicle tumours include cystadenomas,hydatid cysts,papillary adenomas and amyloid depositions.Malignant primary seminal vesicle tumours include cystosarcoma phyllodes,adenocarcinoma,sarcoma,carcinoid and primary seminoma.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.4-6 The wide variety of presenting features might result from variations in the size and location of the retrovesical mass.In our case,the presenting symptom was haematospermia,and the retrovesical mass was detected with abdominal pelvic CT.
