“…Prostatic leiomyomas represent a rare benign tumour in human beings (van Ulden-Bleumink and others 2013). They are defined as smooth muscle tumours within the prostate or in a juxta-prostatic position, devoid of glandular elements (Mellas and others 2012).…”

A 12‐year‐old entire male cocker spaniel presented for re‐evaluation of mitral valve disease. Abdominal palpation revealed a large mass caudally. Abdominal ultrasonography identified a large, heterogeneous, mixed echogenicity mass adjacent to the bladder and prostate. A CT scan of the abdomen confirmed that the mass originated from the cranial aspect of the right prostatic lobe. The mass was of soft tissue attenuation, homogeneous, well circumscribed and displayed mild homogeneous contrast enhancement. There was overlap between the radiologic appearances of prostatic leiomyoma and prostatic carcinoma. Histopathological examination confirmed a prostatic leiomyoma. The patient did not display any clinical signs associated with this tumour and was still alive and asymptomatic three months after diagnosis. Prostatic leiomyomas are very rare in dogs, with only four cases identified within the literature over the previous 40 years; leiomyoma should be included in the differential diagnoses for an atypical prostatic mass in dogs.

“…Chronic inflammatory and infectious processes have been proposed as possible pathogenic mechanisms, whereas embryonic remnants of the Müllerian tube would lie at the origin of a true leiomyoma of the prostate. 2 , 4 Periglandular prostate smooth muscle and the prostate capsule are other possible locations of origin. The exact mechanism is however still unknown.…”

A pure leiomyoma of the prostate is a rare tumor. Less than 30 cases about prostatic leiomyoma have been reported. Pathologic anatomy examination is the only medium for definitive diagnosis and is important to rule out malignancies such as leiomyosarcoma. We describe an accidental finding of a tumor in the right prostate lobe of a 54 year old man, who was diagnosed with prostatic leiomyoma and treated with open radical prostatectomy.

Leiomyoma with bizarre nuclei (LM-BN) is a very rare finding which cannot be distinguished clinically from the very commonly occurring benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). If correctly diagnosed, LM-BN has a favorable prognosis after complete surgical excision. It is important to keep this alternative diagnosis in mind when treating a patient with complaints indicating prostatic hyperplasia. This case involves a 77-year-old male presenting with lower urinary tract symptoms; based on clinical presentation, the patient was diagnosed with BPH. A transurethral prostate resection was performed. Resected prostate tissue was collected for analysis and diagnosis of prostatic LM-BN was made.
