Imaging of non-epithelial neoplasms of the prostate

Pankaj Nepal et al. Abdom Radiol (NY). 2020 Dec.

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to review the spectrum of rare non-epithelial tumors of the prostate. This focused article will help the readers to understand the imaging findings of such rare entities attributed to their clinicopathological features. Radiologists must be familiar with the spectrum of non-epithelial tumors of the prostate, which helps to suggest alternate diagnosis other than adenocarcinoma, when imaging features are atypical. This is important because these tumors have different management approaches and prognoses when compared to adenocarcinoma of the prostate.

Keywords: Imaging; Non-epithelial; Prostate tumors; Rare.
