A common tumor in an uncommon site: epithelioid Leiomyoma arising from the seminal vesicle-a case report.
Article in BMC urology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundLeiomyoma of the seminal vesicle is a rare leiomyoma characterized by the formation of benign leiomyomatous tissue within the seminal vesicle. Although histologically benign, excessive size can lead to urinary system disease if left untreated. Herein, we report a case of a seminal vesicle epithelioid leiomyoma. CASE PRESENTATION: A 36-year-old Chinese man sought medical attention at our hospital for urination pain and hemospermia. CT showed a 5.3 cm × 5.0 cm seminal vesicle mass with a mixed density in the right seminal vesicle. The gross specimen showed light yellow, gray, and white tissues, with softness and hemorrhage in some places. Histologically, it showed classic spindle cell proliferation, with spindle cells arranged in fascicles, and mitosis was rare. Immunohistochemistry showed frequent expression of smooth muscle markers, such as calponin, SMA, and desmin. A diagnosis of epithelioid leiomyoma was proposed according to the immunohistochemical findings and morphology. The patient did not receive adjuvant therapy. There was no evidence of tumor recurrence in the 10 months after surgery.
conclusionsWe report the first case of epithelioid leiomyoma in the seminal vesicle. This disease should be included in the differential diagnostic list of seminal vesicle tumors with epithelioid morphology.
