Prostatic stromal sarcoma – Management course of a rare presentation: A case report

Abstract

Prostatic stromal sarcoma (PSS) is a rare encounter; fewer than 35 cases have been reported in the literature. We report a twenty-one-year-old male patient who presented with acute urinary retention. Radiological evaluation revealed a retro-vesical mass originating from the prostate. An image-guided core needle biopsy was consistent with PSS, and postoperative microscopic examination of the cystoprostatectomy specimen showed high-grade PSS confirmed by immunohistochemical staining. The patient received adjuvant chemotherapy. Six months later, the patient had a disease recurrence. The patient died 17 months after diagnosis. This case report can be a new addition to the medical literature regarding this rare tumor.
