“…Although SFT were originally recognized as pleura‐based tumors, 1 recent reports indicated that they could occur in genito‐urinary organs, including the prostate, 3,4 urinary bladder, 2,4 and seminal vesicle 4,5 etc. Together with the current patient, there are thus far four patients, aged from 46 to 65 years (mean, 52 years), with SFT involving seminal vesicles in the English‐language literature 4,5 . The initial clinical manifestations were varied, including hematuria, dysuria, hemaspermia, groin discomfort, and incidental finding 4,5 .…”

“…Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) was originally described as a serosa‐associated tumor in the thoracic cavity 1 . They are currently known to affect a variety of extrathoracic sites, including the male genito‐urinary tract 2–5 . To date, three SFT in the seminal vesicle with typical histology have been published in the English‐language literature 4,5 .…”

Although focal myxoid change is a well-recognized feature of solitary fibrous tumor (SFT), predominantly myxoid SFT are exceedingly rare. Reported herein is the case of a 65-year-old man with SFT containing abundant myxoid matrix, arising from the capsule of the right seminal vesicle. To the authors' knowledge this is the first myxoid SFT involving the male genito-urinary system. Recognition of the myxoid variant of SFT is crucial, given possible confusion with a variety of myxoid spindle cell neoplasms with different biological potential in the pelvic cavity.
