Leiomyoma of the seminal vesicle is an extremely rare tumour. The diagnosis of this entity is important when it co-exists with prostatic carcinoma, since it can simulate tumour extension from prostate or bladder cancer on MR imaging and lead to overstaging. In this report, we describe a 74-year-old man with a leiomyoma of the seminal vesicle that mimics tumour extension from co-existent prostatic cancer on T2-weighted MR imaging. To our knowledge, this is the first description of imaging findings of concurrent leiomyoma of the seminal vesicle and prostatic carcinoma.
精囊平滑肌瘤是一种极其罕见的肿瘤。当它与前列腺癌并存时，对该实体的诊断很重要，因为在磁共振成像（MR）上它可模拟前列腺癌或膀胱癌的肿瘤扩展，从而导致分期过高。在本报告中，我们描述了一名74岁男性，其精囊平滑肌瘤在T2加权MR成像上模拟了并存前列腺癌的肿瘤扩展。据我们所知，这是精囊平滑肌瘤与前列腺癌并存的影像学表现的首次描述。
