Bilateral seminal vesicle abscesses.

We report a case of a seminal vesicle abscess successfully treated by percutaneous perineal drainage. Magnetic resonance imaging was helpful in clarifying the differential diagnosis. Seminal vesicle abscess is a rare pathological entity; since 1958, only 7 cases have been reported in the literature. Because of its nonspecific clinical symptoms, clinical diagnosis is often ambiguous. An overview of the literature, as well as a discussion of the diagnosis and the treatment of the seminal vesicle abscess will be presented.
