ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES: To describe a rare case of fibrous histiocytoma of the seminal vesicles. METHODS: A tumor occupying the entire hypogastrium, extending beyond the umbilical region were the only remarkable findings in our 47-year-old male patient that prompted us to perform complementary studies such as US, contrast-enhanced radiological evaluation (urography, cystography, colon enema and intestinal transit time) and laparoscopy that disclosed an extraperitoneal tumor with no precise location. A large tumor involving the seminal vesicles was found at surgery and resected. The histological analyses disclosed an atypical fibrous histiocytoma of the seminal vesicles. RESULTS: Patient outcome was satisfactory. CONCLUSIONS: Because tumors of the seminal vesicles are uncommon, it is practically impossible to diagnose this tumor type preoperatively.
