Abstract
- We present a case of a patient with a large, symptomatic abdominal tumour, which finally could be classified as a leiomyoma arising from the right seminal duct/seminal vesicle. In computed tomography (CT) scan, it appeared as a 7.5 × 6.5 cm solid, supravesical mass. A cystoscopy as well as bilateral retrograde studies was normal, a transrectal ultrasound-guided biopsy and an ultrasound-guided transabdominal biopsy of the mass were inconclusive. Subsequently, we performed a tumour extirpation through a lower midline laparotomy. Histological examination showed a leiomyoma arising from the right seminal duct or seminal vesicle. In this article, we discuss clinical presentation, findings on imaging and management of this rare benign tumour and review the relevant literature where only 13 similar cases could be identified.
