Clear cell carcinoma of the seminal vesicle in a young adult.

Introduction: Most seminal vesicle malignancies are secondary to prostate or bladder cancer. Herein, we report a case of primary clear cell carcinoma of the seminal vesicle.

Case Presentation: A 27-year-old man was referred to our department for hematospermia and macroscopic hematuria. A digital rectal examination showed a soft elastic prostatic mass. Cystoscopy showed no bladder abnormalities, and tumor marker tests were unremarkable. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a cystic tumor containing an enhanced nodule near the prostate and seminal vesicle. The tumor was removed en bloc with the prostate and seminal vesicle through a laparoscopic radical prostatectomy. A histopathologic examination confirmed the diagnosis, with the tumor likely arising from a remnant Müllerian epithelium. A 1-year follow-up revealed local tumor recurrence, prompting laparoscopy.

Conclusion: A standard therapy for primary seminal vesicle carcinoma has not been established. Further studies are necessary to determine the optimal treatment strategy.
