Key result
Ultrasound and CT imaging of a primary leiomyosarcoma of the seminal vesicle revealed a mass causing enlargement of the right seminal vesicle with bladder and prostate involvement.
Case Report (n=1)
Ultrasound and CT imaging are useful in identifying retrovesical masses such as primary leiomyosarcoma of the seminal vesicle.
Rare seminal vesicle leiomyosarcoma imaging case warrants diagnostic caution; leaves open prospective validation of ultrasound and CT utility.
Leiomyosarcoma of the seminal vesicle is exceedingly rare. The ultrasound and CT findings in a recent case are described. These consist of a mass causing enlargement of the right seminal vesicle with involvement of the urinary bladder and prostate. The prostate gland was displaced inferiorly and to the left. Surgical resection and subsequent histology confirmed the diagnosis. The role of imaging in retrovesical masses is also discussed.

Upreti et al. (2003) conducted a case report in Leiomyosarcoma of the seminal vesicle (n=1). Ultrasound and CT imaging was evaluated on Imaging findings. Ultrasound and CT imaging of a primary leiomyosarcoma of the seminal vesicle revealed a mass causing enlargement of the right seminal vesicle with bladder and prostate involvement.
