Abstract
A 44-year-old healthy Caucasian gentleman presented with fevers and right lower quadrant pain. He had mildly elevated inflammatory markers and computed tomography demonstrated cystic enlargement of the right seminal vesicle concerning for seminal vesicle abscess (SVA). SVA is a rare diagnosis and generally requires drainage for adequate source control. The patient was commenced on intravenous antibiotics and underwent uncomplicated transperineal drainage of seminal vesicle abscess under local anaesthetic. Urine culture confirmed infection with Citrobacter koseri and the patient was discharged on the first post-operative day with a 14-day course of oral co-trimoxazole. Six-week follow-up with multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging of the prostate shows no evidence of any prostatic lesions, prostatitis or recurrence of abscess.
