title: Primary carcinoid tumor of the seminal vesicles: CT and MR findings.
abstract: A case of primary carcinoid tumor of the seminal vesicles is presented. To our knowledge, this case documented by CT and MRI is unique in that it is the first described in this location. The tumor appears homogeneous and intensely enhanced after IV on CT, and hypointense on MRI on both T1- and T2-weighted images. On T2-weighted images, the tumor is heterogeneous.
