Clin Pract. 2013 Nov 22;3(2):e32. doi: 10.4081/cp.2013.e32. eCollection 2013 Aug 2.

Abstract

Leiomyomas though common benign tumors of smooth muscle cells are extremely rare in the male genitourinary tract. We present a case of an elderly male who presented with complaints suggestive of urinary bladder outlet obstruction since 1 year. His evaluation showed it due to a tumour arising from the left seminal vesicle. Excision of the tumor was done which was diagnosed on histopathology as leiomyoma. A brief case report and review of literature is being presented.

Keywords: leiomyoma; seminal vesicle.
