“…Microscopically, it is characterized by intersecting bundles not atypical, smooth muscle cells with uniform cigar-shaped and slightly vesicular nuclei. The spindle cell population is desmin, smooth muscle actin (SMA) and androgen receptor positive [8]. If there is also an increased mitotic activity and necrosis, it is a leiomyosarcoma.…”

A pure leiomyoma of the prostate is a rare benign tumor. An 82-year-old man was referred to our urology department with gross hematuria and complete urinary retention. Examination revealed a benign prostatic hyperplasia. Transrectal ultrasound showed a prostate of 125 mL. Serum PSA was 1.9 µg/L. A simple retropubic prostatectomy was performed. Histopathological examination showed a pure leiomyoma of the prostate, without the presence of glandular prostate tissue. The diagnosis, characteristics, and treatment of this tumor are described.

“…86,87 The benign nature was established by long-term follow-up in all of them 5,86-88 and by ploidy analysis in one case. 86 Cases of epithelioid leiomyoma (leiomyoblastoma) were also reported. [89][90][91] A rare case of claimed malignant transformation of a leiomyoma into a leiomyosarcoma over a 15-month period was 449 reported in the German literature.…”

“…However, Gaudin et al 31 excluded Wang's seven cases from being considered atypical stromal hyperplasia and likened them to symplastic leiomyoma as reported by others. [86][87][88] The smooth muscle nature in many of the reported cases was established by immunohistochemistry 5 and electron microscopy. 86,87 The benign nature was established by long-term follow-up in all of them 5,86-88 and by ploidy analysis in one case.…”

Nonepithelial Tumors and Tumor-Like Lesions of the Prostate Gland

Critical Reviews in Clinical Laboratory Sciences

Many significant benign and malignant nonepithelial tumors and stromal tumor-like lesions arise in the prostate gland. Although such lesions are rare, their recognition by the pathologist is essential because their treatment and prognosis are quite variable. In this review, lesions of the specialized prostatic stroma, that is, lesions that can be seen in the stroma of the prostate but not in that of other organs, except for the phyllodes type of lesions, are discussed. Benign and malignant lesions of the soft tissues that occur in the stroma of other organs and are seen with some frequency in the prostate are also discussed. Few of the rarer soft tissue lesions are mentioned. Lesions and tumors with melanocytic differentiation, hematopoietic derivation, and germ cell tumors are described. It is hoped that this review will serve as a useful reference when encountering some of these lesions, all of which are referenced to their original and subsequent reports. Some non-English language references are also cited to reflect the international recognition of these lesions or to give credit to the author who first described the entity.

“…Smooth muscle tumours in the prostate are suggested to arise from the smooth muscle elements of periglandular tissues, the prostatic capsule, or Müllerian duct remnants. Prostatic LM is rare, with <100 cases reported 31–50 . Most tumours occur in the sixth decade of life, and patients present with obstructive urinary symptoms.…”

Non‐epithelial neoplasms of the prostate

et al. 2011

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Non-epithelial prostatic neoplasms are infrequent and cover a broad array of entities that include both benign and highly aggressive tumours. Because they are very infrequent, there is often limited understanding of them, and the recognition of these entities, when encountered, may pose a diagnostic challenge, owing to histological overlap between them or their rarity. Most lesions in this category are mesenchymal in origin, such as prostatic stromal tumours arising from specialized prostatic stroma, smooth muscle tumours, both benign and malignant, and solitary fibrous tumours. Less commonly occurring tumours include neural, germ cell and melanocytic tumours that may be derived from cells not normally present in the prostate. Some tumours have well-established extraprostatic counterparts and, when encountered, are more commonly extraprostatic/secondary in origin; these include gastrointestinal stromal tumours and most haematopoietic tumours. The majority of tumours are characterized by a spindle cell pattern with significant overlap in morphological features. In this setting, appropriate use of immunohistochemistry and molecular studies are often necessary for accurate diagnosis, prognosis, or prediction for therapy. This review addresses and updates the clinicopathological features of the entire spectrum of non-epithelial tumours with an approach to the histological diagnosis.
