ABSTRACT
Primary seminal vesicle adenocarcinoma is an extremely rare tumor. Accurate recognition of malignant neoplasms of the seminal vesicle is a crucial condition to establish a correct treatment that leads to improvement of long-term survival. Diagnosis of seminal vesicle carcinoma is based on many methods including imaging, biology, and pathological assessment, especially by means of immunohistochemistry. Herein, we report a case of primary mucinous adenocarcinoma of the seminal vesicle mimicking a benign congenital cyst in a 25-year-old patient, fortuitously discovered on a pelvic computer tomography scan.
ABSTRACT
Adrenal myelolipoma (MLS) is a rare, benign and non-functional neoplasm, composed of adipose tissue and myeloid. We report a rare case of adrenal myelolipoma of a 20-year-old female revealed with chronic abdominal pain. Computed tomography (CT) scan of the abdomen guided diagnosis and surgical resection was performed given symptomatic and bulky mass. Histological examination confirmed the diagnosis. At 18 months after the surgery, the patient had no evidence of recurrence. The diagnosis of MLS is radiological. Therapeutic abstention is the rule for a small, asymptomatic tumor. The surgical removal is indicated when it is bulky (exceeds 7cm), symptomatic or hormonal activity.
