title: [Seminal vesicle dystrophy as the cause of chronic unilateral pelvic pain in a 20-year-old male].
abstract: The authors report on the case of a male patient referred for unilateral pelvic pain. An enlarged right seminal vesicle was showed by clinical examination and radiological technics. Total relief of symptoms was obtained by surgical excision. Pathological examination concluded on a dystrophic lesion of the seminal vesicle. Obstruction of the right ejaculatory duct, which could not be proved anyway is the most probable hypothesis.
