Abstract

Seminal vesicles (SVs) are pair of androgen-dependent accessory glandular structures of the male reproductive system. They play a critical role in male fertility. The main purpose of this review is to illustrate the  imaging findings of  the normal and the spectrum of seminal vesicles diseases, including congenital anomalies, inflammation,  neoplastic , and nonneoplastic  diseases.
