Amyloidosis of the seminal vesicle--a case report and review of the literature.
Scand J Urol Nephrol. 2003; 37(6):519-21.SJ

Abstract

The finding of amyloid deposits in the seminal vesicles has been known for many years. The deposits are usually localized and asymptomatic. In recent years seminal vesicle amyloidosis has been reported to simulate prostate and bladder cancer invasion on MRI. We therefore feel that knowledge of the entity is important and present herein a typical case confirming the previous findings that amyloidosis of the seminal vesicles is a unique form of amyloidosis, a relatively common incidental finding and one that may be related to prostate cancer.
