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.
