Seminal vesiculitis (also known as spermatocystitis) is an inflammation of the seminal vesicles, most often caused by bacterial infection. [15] Symptoms can include vague back or lower abdominal pain; pain of the penis, scrotum or peritoneum; painful ejaculation; blood in the semen on ejaculation; irritative and obstructive voiding symptoms ...
Vasography with a prostatic cyst and seminal vesicles filled with iodinated contrast. Vasography is an X-ray study of the vas deferens to see if there is blockage, oftentimes in the context of male infertility. [1] An incision is made in the scrotum, contrast is injected in the vas deferens, and X-rays are taken from different angles. [1]
Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT), also known as fibrous tumor of the pleura, is a rare mesenchymal tumor originating in the pleura [1] or at virtually any site in the soft tissue including the seminal vesicle. [2] Approximately 78% to 88% of SFT's are benign and 12% to 22% are malignant. [3]
Seminal vesicles: two glands behind the bladder that secrete many of the semen's components. Prostate gland: a gland located below the bladder that produces seminal fluid and helps regulate urine flow. Bulbourethral glands: add fluid to semen during ejaculation (pre-ejaculate).
The vas deferens ends with an opening into the ejaculatory duct at a point where the duct of the seminal vesicle also joins the ejaculatory duct. [1] The vas deferens is a partially coiled tube which exits the abdominal cavity through the inguinal canal .

The male genital apparatus is composed of six to nine testicular masses, situated dorsally. There is one deferent canal beginning at each testicle, which is connected to a single deferent that dilates into a reservatory, the seminal vesicle, located at the beginning of the gynaecophoric canal.
Sertoli cells are specifically located in the convolutions of the seminiferous tubules, since this is the only place in the testes where spermatozoa are produced.
