Int J Urol. 2002 Oct;9(10):599-601. doi: 10.1046/j.1442-2042.2002.00515.x.

Abstract

Background: We report here an extremely rare case of cystosarcoma phyllodes of the seminal vesicle.

Methods: A 65-year-old man presented with urinary hesitancy, frequency and constipation. Clinical examinations including two needle biopsies were performed, and the patient had undergone open surgery.

Results: The final pathological diagnosis was cystosarcoma phyllodes of the seminal vesicle. Seven months after the operation, a chest X-ray showed lung metastasis, and the patient died 11 months after the operation.

Conclusion: To our knowledge, only one case of cystosarcoma phyllodes of the seminal vesicle has been previously reported.
