“…The MR signal characteristics of prostate sarcomas documented in this study are similar to those seen in other studies [ 9 , 10 ] . Most prostate sarcomas appear as homogeneous low signal masses on the T1-weighted images.…”

Sarcomas of the prostate are rare tumours. Their clinicopathologic features are well described, however, the imaging features of these tumours have rarely been documented. The purpose of this article is to illustrate the imaging findings of prostate sarcomas, with an emphasis on their appearance on magnetic resonance imaging and to identify features that may help to differentiate them from the commoner prostate adenocarcinomas.

“…MR spectroscopy features of prostate sarcomas have been described in a small series [ 10 ] . Prostate sarcomas have a marked increase in the ratio of choline/citrate, helping to differentiate them from benign hyperplasia but not from prostate adenocarcinoma, which demonstrates similar features.…”

“…It is difficult to differentiate between tumors arising from the prostate and those arising from the bladder base. However, CT is useful for assessing the extent of local adenopathy and is the imaging modality of choice for of distant metastases [9,10]. In our case, we easily determined metastatic lymph node on CT images.…”

“…The tumor shape varies from round/lobulated and welldefined masses to irregular and ill-defined lesions. Due to its high soft tissue contrast resolution, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) helps to determine the site of origin of the tumor, its local extent, tissue characteristics, presence of local adenopathy and aids in planning surgical resection [1,2,10]. Since our patient underwent the surgical resection shortly after CT examination, we could not perform the MRI.…”

Sarcomas of the prostate are rare tumors. Imaging plays an important role in the management and diagnosis of patients with prostate sarcomas. Their clinic-pathologic features are well described, but the imaging features of these tumors have rarely been documented in the literature and have appeared mainly as case reports. Herein, we present a rare case of metastatic spindle cell sarcoma of prostate with computed tomography imaging findings. Keywords: Prostate sarcoma, metastasis, CT imaging ÖzetProstat sarkomları nadir tümörlerdendir. Görüntüleme prostat sarkomu tanı ve tedavi yönetiminde önemli bir rol oynar. Prostat sarkomunun klinik-patolojik bulguları iyi tanımlanmış olmasına rağmen görüntüleme bulguları ise daha az sayıda derlenmiş ve vaka raporları şeklinde sunulmuştur. Burada, biz oldukça nadir görülen metastatik spindle hücreli prostat sarkomu vakasını bilgisayarlı tomografi gö-rüntüleme bulguları eşliğinde sunduk.

“…In addition, TRUS is usually used to guide a biopsy to confirm the diagnosis (1). The imaging features of MRI, such as a large size, irregular margins and heterogeneity, are similar to those of TRUS (15,16). Besides that, it has an advantage in detecting metastatic lesions and revealing the adjacent structures (17).…”

Contrast-enhanced ultrasound aids in the detection of prostate rhabdomyosarcoma: A case report and literature review

Abstract. Prostate sarcoma is a rare malignancy with an extremely poor prognosis. The extremely low morbidity and atypical clinical symptoms contribute to a missed diagnosis. The typical features of prostate sarcoma in transrectal ultrasound (US) and magnetic resonance imaging, such as a markedly enlarged volume and irregular prostatic contours, cannot usually be found until dysuria or even uroschesis occurs, and may then be too late to treat. However, there appears to no specific tumor marker for the disease in the serum. The present study reports a case of a young male patient who was diagnosed with prostate rhabdomyosarcoma. This was, to the best of our knowledge, the first case of this diagnosis using contrast-enhanced US (CEUS) when the symptoms were not severe. In this case, the intralesional non-enhancement areas and rim-like hyper-enhancement around the lesion were considered to be the main CEUS features of prostate rhabdomyosarcoma. The present study also reviews the associated literature.
