Prostatic stromal sarcoma is a rare cancer. This case highlights diagnostic challenges and successful radiotherapy in a patient with bladder retention and hematuria.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Prostatic sarcoma is an exceptionally rare malignancy originating from the prostatic stroma.
  • Its clinical presentation, histological characteristics, and biological behavior remain poorly understood.
  • Accurate diagnosis is often challenging due to its rarity and potential mimicry of benign conditions.

Observation:

  • A 47-year-old male presented with complete bladder retention, initially diagnosed as benign prostatic hyperplasia.
  • Initial treatment involved suprapubic prostatectomy, with subsequent histological examination revealing a primary neuroectodermal tumor (PNET).
  • The patient was lost to follow-up and later presented with hematuria, a significantly enlarged prostate (83g by ultrasound), and soft consistency.

Findings:

  • Histological review of the resected material and original biopsy confirmed stromal sarcoma with identical microscopic and immunohistochemical features.
  • The patient received local and regional radiotherapy (60 Grays).
  • After 36 months of follow-up, the patient experiences urinary symptoms but shows no evidence of local recurrence or distant metastasis.

    • Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of thorough histopathological evaluation in diagnosing rare prostatic tumors.
    • Radiotherapy demonstrated efficacy in managing prostatic stromal sarcoma, even after initial misdiagnosis and treatment.
    • Further research into the optimal management strategies for prostatic stromal sarcoma is warranted given its rarity and complex presentation.
