Abstract

We present a case of a cystic schwannoma of the seminal vesicle that occurred in a 50-year-old man who presented asymptomatic. Computed tomography scan and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a cystic mass within the left seminal vesicle. A laparoscopic surgery was performed to remove the mass on request. Histopathological examination finally confirmed a schwannoma of the seminal vesicle. The patient was free of disease 3 months postoperatively.
