A rare case of benign fibroepithelial tumor of the seminal vesicle

Arch Ital Urol Androl. 2003 Sep;75(3):164-5.

Abstract

Primary tumors of seminal vesicles are rare. We report on a benign tumor of the seminal vesicle with fibroepithelial and cystic features. We performed a laparoscopic transperitoneal approach. The mass, not fixed to any anatomical structures except to the prostate, was isolated and removed. Histological examination of tumor revealed two distinct components: epithelial and stromal. We consider the term fibroadenoma more appropriate than cystoadenoma, because the stroma is not reactive but a distinct neoplastic component.
