Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 8
Abstract
Abstract: Prostate malignancy is the second most common cancer in men .But among prostatic malignancies; prostatic stromal sarcoma (PSS) is quite rare accounting for only~ 0.1-0.2% of all malignant prostate tumors. Here in, we describe ultrasonography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features of a prostatic stromal sarcoma identified in a 40-year-old man.MRI depicted the extent and infiltrating nature of the tumor with no zonal predilection.There was no lymphadenopathy, but distant metastasis to the liver was identified. Thus, the appearance of prostatic stromal sarcoma on CT and MRI was quite different from that of adenocarcinoma of the prostate. Furthermore prostate specific antigen level was also within normal limits. Keywords:Prostatic stromal sarcoma, Magnetic resonance (MR), computed tomography.
