title: Peritonitis caused by abscess in the seminal vesicle. Case report.
abstract: Acute seminal vesiculitis is rare. It is most often associated with prostatitis and epididymitis. A case is presented in which a ruptured abscess of the seminal vesicle caused diffuse peritonitis. There appears to be no previous report of such abscess, which thus seems to be a very rare cause of acute abdomen.
