Rare and challenging tumor entity: phyllodes tumor of the prostate

Andreas Bannowsky et al. J Oncol. 2009.

Abstract

Cystic epithelial-stromal tumors of the prostate are rare, with 82 cases reported in literature. These cases have been published under a variety of diagnoses, including phyllodes tumor and prostatic stromal proliferation of uncertain malignant potential as well as a malignant tumor called "prostatic stromal sarcoma". We report a case of a 60-year-old man with the histological diagnosis of phyllodes tumor of the prostate in transurethral resection specimen.
