[Transurethral treatment of seminal vesicle abscess].
An 83-year old male with a seminal vesicle abscess is presented. Initially, cancer of the prostate was suspected and the findings of the transrectal ultrasound scan were misinterpreted. The diagnosis was made by CT-scan. When drainage failed the patient was treated successfully with transurethral unroofing.
