“…Thirteen of the reported 15 cases underwent surgery: TURP in seven cases, radical total prostatectomy in four cases, and suprapubic prostatectomy in two cases. Four of the seven patients who underwent TURP experienced recurrence, while those who underwent radical total prostatectomy did not 3–5 . We chose radical total prostatectomy because of the high Ki‐67 index (30%) and the high recurrence rate of cases with TURP.…”

As a result, no obvious recurrence was observed 8 months after surgery, and maintenance the preservation of erectile function and urinary continence were achieved.…”

IntroductionInflammatory myofibroblastic tumors are borderline malignant soft tissue tumors primarily affecting the lungs and pelvic organs. This report presents a rare case of an inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor originating from the prostate gland in a young male.Case presentationA 20‐year‐old man developed gross hematuria and dysuria, revealing a prostatic mass. Pathological examination of a biopsy displayed spindle‐shaped myofibroblast proliferation and an infiltrate of inflammatory cells, leading to a diagnosis of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor. Following fertility preservation measures, the patient underwent a robot‐assisted laparoscopic total prostatectomy with bilateral nerve sparing, resulting in a postoperative diagnosis of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor. No recurrence was observed in subsequent imaging, and urinary continence was maintained.ConclusionSurgical resection appears effective in managing inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors of the prostate. This case underscores the importance of complete tumor resection due to the significant recurrence risk associated with inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors. Radical total prostatectomy emerges as a potential treatment strategy for prostate originating inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors.

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMTs) are particularly rare tumors that have been described in various anatomic locations, of which the urinary bladder is the most common. These benign tumors are amendable to conservative therapy but are notoriously difficult to diagnose given their mimicry of malignant sarcomas and sarcomatoid carcinomas, making an accurate diagnosis paramount to spare a patient radical and unnecessary treatment. We hereby present the case of a 37-year-old female patient who was diagnosed with an IMT of the urinary bladder during workup for painless gross hematuria. Patient was successfully managed with a laparoscopic partial cystectomy and is free of recurrence 5 years after surgery. IMTs are rare benign tumors that share the same clinical presentation as malignant bladder tumors. Deep biopsy and experienced pathologist are crucial in establishing diagnosis and avoiding patient radical treatment. This case is a classical demonstration of a remarkably rare tumor that was adequately managed with conservative therapy, achieving excellent clinical outcomes.
