BACKGROUND: Carcinomas of the seminal vesicle are exceedingly rare, with a limited number of cases described in the literature. Reported cases span a relatively wide morphological spectrum, and their genomic features remain unexplored.
DESIGN: In this study, we interrogated five primary epithelial neoplasms of the seminal vesicle using a targeted DNA sequencing platform (OncoPanel, 447 genes).
RESULTS: The tumours included one adenocarcinoma with intestinal phenotype presenting after external beam radiation (for prostatic adenocarcinoma), one carcinoma with Müllerian-type clear cell phenotype, two mucinous tumours resembling low-grade mucinous neoplasms of the appendix (LAMN) and one mucinous cystadenoma. The post-radiation mucinous adenocarcinoma had genomic findings consistent with bi-allelic inactivation of TP53, as well as multiple copy-number changes with regional and chromosomal arm-level copy-number losses. The Müllerian-type clear cell carcinoma exhibited a complex copy-number profile with numerous regional and arm-level copy-number changes, as well as focal amplification events, including copy-number gain of 8q and amplification of a region within 20q13. Both low-grade mucinous tumours resembling LAMN harboured hot-spot gain-of-function KRAS variants (p.G12V and p.G13D) as the only genomic alteration. No genomic alterations were detected inthe lesion diagnosed as mucinous cystadenoma.
CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that primary low-grade mucinous neoplasms of the seminal vesicle may represent a distinct entity equivalent to appendiceal counterparts, driven by gain-of-function variants of RAS GTPases. The remaining tumours showed genomic features that closely resembled those of neoplasms with comparable phenotypes and/or biological characteristics arising in other sites, suggesting that they could be managed similarly, with special considerations related to their anatomical location.
