Hemangioma of the prostate with retrograde ejaculation - a case report

Area of Science:

• Urology
• Pathology
• Medical Imaging

Background:

• Prostate hemangioma is an uncommon benign vascular tumor.
• Diagnosis and management can be challenging due to its rarity.

Purpose of the Study:

• To report a case of prostate hemangioma in a young adult male.
• To discuss diagnostic imaging, pathological findings, and treatment outcomes.

Main Methods:

• Case presentation of a 31-year-old male with retrograde ejaculation.
• Diagnostic imaging including ultrasound revealed a prostatic mass.
• Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) was performed for treatment.

Main Results:

• Pathological examination confirmed the prostatic mass as hemangioma.
• Immunohistochemistry showed specific markers (SMA, CD34, CD31 positive; D2-40 negative).
• One-year follow-up indicated persistent infertility despite successful hemangioma resection.

Conclusions:

• Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is a viable treatment for symptomatic prostate hemangioma.
• Combined treatment strategies may be required to address associated infertility.
