Diagnostic and surgical management of the first reported case of bilateral schwannomas of seminal vesicle at a single center
Schwannomas of seminal vesicle is a rare, slow-growing disease with an insidious onset and low incidence, most commonly affecting middle-aged and elderly men. More than 40% of patients are asymptomatic. The tumor occurs with approximately equal frequency on either side, while bilateral involvement is exceedingly rare. Lesions are predominantly solid, and minimally invasive surgery-either laparoscopic or robotic-is the preferred treatment approach. The overall prognosis is favorable, and to date, no cases of recurrence or malignant transformation have been reported.
