Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Prostatic leiomyosarcoma is an exceptionally rare malignant tumor arising from smooth muscle tissue within the prostate gland.
  • This tumor type presents unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to its rarity and potential for aggressive behavior.

Observation:

  • Two cases of prostatic leiomyosarcoma are presented.
  • The first patient, too debilitated for surgery, succumbed shortly after hospital admission.
  • The second patient underwent successful cystoprostatectomy with ilio-obturator lymph node dissection.

Findings:

  • The second patient achieved a complete recovery with negative resection margins and lymph nodes.
  • A 10-year follow-up revealed normal clinical and radiological assessments for the surgically treated patient.
