Abstract

Background: Seminal vesicle cysts (SVCs) are rare benign diseases in men and are commonly asymptomatic. Giant SVCs with complications there are no standard treatments for SVCs, however surgical intervention is required for giant SVCs accompanied with complications.

Case summary: We present one case of a 49-year-old male patient diagnosed with giant SVC. Chief complaint of this patient was persistent gross hematuria for 1 week. Both a computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans indicated the presence of a cystic mass in left seminal vesicle with hemorrhage, of which the maximum diameter is 6.5 cm. Additionally, Giant SVC squeezed the prostate and lower ureter, leading to the dilatation of the left upper ureter and hydronephrosis. After a thorough preoperative evaluation, a laparoscopic resection of SVC and left ureteral stenting were performed. The subsequent pathological analysis identified a seminal vesicle cyst inflammatory infiltration. Postoperative follow-up indicated no abnormalities in left seminal vesicle.

Conclusion: Laparoscopic surgery is recommended for giant SVCs with complications.

期刊介绍： Evidence of surgical interventions go back to prehistoric times. Since then, the field of surgery has developed into a complex array of specialties and procedures, particularly with the advent of microsurgery, lasers and minimally invasive techniques. The advanced skills now required from surgeons has led to ever increasing specialization, though these still share important fundamental principles. Frontiers in Surgery is the umbrella journal representing the publication interests of all surgical specialties. It is divided into several “Specialty Sections” listed below. All these sections have their own Specialty Chief Editor, Editorial Board and homepage, but all articles carry the citation Frontiers in Surgery. Frontiers in Surgery calls upon medical professionals and scientists from all surgical specialties to publish their experimental and clinical studies in this journal. By assembling all surgical specialties, which nonetheless retain their independence, under the common umbrella of Frontiers in Surgery, a powerful publication venue is created. Since there is often overlap and common ground between the different surgical specialties, assembly of all surgical disciplines into a single journal will foster a collaborative dialogue amongst the surgical community. This means that publications, which are also of interest to other surgical specialties, will reach a wider audience and have greater impact. The aim of this multidisciplinary journal is to create a discussion and knowledge platform of advances and research findings in surgical practice today to continuously improve clinical management of patients and foster innovation in this field.
