Primary adenocarcinoma of the seminal vesicles is a rare and aggressive genitourinary malignancy characterized by non-specific clinical presentation (hematuria, hemospermia, dysuria, or palpable mass), typically delayed diagnosis, and poor prognosis; diagnosis requires immunohistochemical differentiation from secondary infiltrations using CK7, CA125, PSA, PAP, CK20, CEA, and MUC6 markers, with radical surgery being the primary treatment approach.

[music] >> Malignant neoplasms of the seminal vesicles are extremely rare entities [music] within the pathology of the genitourinary tract. However, their recognition is crucial due to their aggressive behavior and the [music] diagnostic challenges they present.
In this context, primary adenocarcinoma [music] is the most frequently described subtype, characterized by non-specific clinical [music] presentation, hematuria, hemospermia, dysuria, or a palpable superprostatic mass, and by a typically delayed diagnosis, [music] which leads to a poor prognosis.
Histologically, it can exhibit papillary or mucinous patterns [music] with mucin production and marked atypia, making it essential to rule out secondary infiltration [music] from the prostate, rectum, or bladder.
In immunohistochemical [music] terms, these tumors usually express CK7 and CA125, with negativity for PSA and PAP, which allows them to be differentiated from prostatic [music] adenocarcinoma.
Furthermore, the comparative study of markers such as CK20, CEA, and MUC6 is [music] key to establishing the differential diagnosis from bladder, colorectal, or urachal neoplasms.
In addition to adenocarcinoma, exceptional variants have been described [music] such as primary squamous cell carcinoma, sometimes associated with chronic [music] inflammation or Zinner syndrome, neuroendocrine tumors with a poor prognosis, and mullerian adenosarcoma-like lesions.
Consequently, the approach requires clinical, radiological, and histopathological correlation, with radical surgery [music] being the main therapeutic strategy, while the response to chemotherapy or hormone [music] therapy is usually limited.
