Abstract
Primary squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is extremely rare in the seminal vesicle. A 26-year-old male patient presented with complaints of difficulty in urination for 10 years and gross hematuria for 7 months. Ultrasonography and computed tomography imaging demonstrated a large mixed solid̸cystic mass lesions in the rectovesical pouch. The mass was completely resected with the open approach and was verified as a primary SCC of the seminal vesicle by post‑surgical histopathological examination. Pelvic metastases were detected 28 months after the surgery. This is the third reported case of primary SCC of the seminal vesicle, and the first one in a young patient. early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for primary SCC of the seminal vesicle.
