Radiology-pathology conference: malignant solitary fibrous tumor of the seminal vesicle

Clin Imaging. 2013 Mar-Apr;37(2):409-13. doi: 10.1016/j.clinimag.2012.04.027. Epub 2012 Jun 8.

Abstract

Mesenchymal neoplasms are rarely encountered in the seminal vesicle. Only four cases of the seminal vesicle solitary fibrous tumor have been reported in English literature, all of which were benign in nature. We are describing the clinicoradiological and pathological features of a locally aggressive malignant solitary fibrous tumor arising from the seminal vesicle, which posed the therapeutic challenge for the surgical management in a 52-year-old male patient. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of the malignant solitary fibrous tumor arising from the seminal vesicle.
