INTRODUCTION Seminal vesicle cysts are rarely diagnosed, but symptomatic congenital seminal vesicle cysts are reported in the literature describing Zinner syndrome. CASE DESCRIPTION We present the case of a 26-year-old patient admitted to the urology department because of abdominal pain. A left seminal vesicle cyst and left kidney agenesis were found on examination, and the patient qualified ...

PURPOSE This study analyses seminal vesicle displacement relative to the prostate and in relation to treatment time. METHOD A group of eleven patients undergoing prostate cancer radiotherapy were imaged with a continuous 3 T cine-MRI in the standard treatment setup position. Four images were recorded every 4 seconds for 15 minutes in the sagittal plane and every 6.5 seconds for 12 minutes in ...

A 62-year-old man presented in 1987 with hematospermia. No abnormal findings were observed by cystourethroscopy. Ultrasound showed the enlargement of the right seminal vesicle. The right seminal vesicle could not be visualized by seminal vesiculography. Computed tomographic scan revealed a homogeneous mass at the right dorsolateral aspect of the prostate. Surgical exploration was performed. The...

Primary adenocarcinoma of the seminal vesicles is a rare neoplasm. Congenital seminal vesicle cysts are commonly associated with unilateral renal agenesis or dysgenesis. To the best of our knowledge, mucinous adenocarcinoma of the seminal vesicle cyst that's associated with an ectopic ureter opening into the seminal vesicle and ipsilateral renal agenesis has not been described in the radiologic...

Seminal vesiculitis is the common disease of male urogenital system. However, the pathogenesis of seminal vesiculitis remains unclear. Semenogelin I (Sg I) is mainly synthesized and secreted by seminal vesicle and has antibacterial activity. We thus postulate that Sg I plays an important role during the occurrence and development of seminal vesiculitis. In the present study, we analyzed the exp...
