Core Tip
Core Tip: A 46-year-old man with a history of a partial ileectomy and adjuvant chemotherapy for ileal adenocarcinoma 4 years prior to presentation at our clinic with hematospermia. Subsequent investigations confirmed the very unusual diagnosis of a solitary tumor at the left seminal vesicle. Laparoscopic left-sided vesiculectomy was carried out. Histological analysis with immunohistochemistry showed that CDX-2 was positive and CK7 was negative, and the appearance was consistent with the diagnosis of recurrent metastatic adenocarcinoma of his previously treated intestine primary. He received adjuvant chemoradiotherapy following surgery. He remained asymptomatic until he developed multiple bone and pulmonary metastasis one year after surgery.
