Leiomyomas are an uncommon form of benign tumour composed exclusively or mostly of smooth muscle. They may involve any part of the genito-urinary apparatus, but are found most frequently in the renal capsule. The authors report the case of a leiomuscular type prostatic tumour with atypia making it impossible to define a malignant state with any certainty. It is emphasised that only the histological examination can decide since observation and instrumental examinations are not sufficient for diagnosis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
