Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Oncology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Prostate leiomyosarcoma is an exceptionally rare malignancy originating from prostatic smooth muscle cells.
  • Diagnosis often occurs incidentally during surgery for other prostatic conditions.

Observation:

  • A 72-year-old male patient initially treated for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) underwent surgery.
  • Post-operative pathological analysis revealed leiomyosarcoma of the prostate.

Findings:

  • The patient received preoperative radiotherapy followed by extended cystectomy and pelvic tumorectomy.
  • Despite aggressive treatment, the patient experienced local recurrence four years post-surgery.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of thorough pathological examination in prostatic surgeries.
