Solitary fibrous tumor of the seminal vesicle

Abstract

Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) are mesenchymal neoplasms with variable clinical behavior depending on age, tumor site, and size, and pathologic factors such as mitoses and necrosis. Imaging features on computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are not specific, and the diagnosis relies on histopathology with immunohistochemistry. SFTs arising from seminal vesicles is rare and reported in only eight earlier cases. We discuss the clinical, histopathologic and positron emission tomography (PET) imaging characteristics of a 54-year-old patient with SFT of the seminal vesicle. The patient was treated with robot-assisted seminal vesiculotomy and is doing well on follow-up at two years.
