Sarcoma of the prostate gland: report of four cases

Cytogenetic findings in a primary leiomyosarcoma of the prostate

Cytogenetic analysis of a primary leiomyosarcoma of the prostate revealed a clonal chromosomal rearrangement involving chromosomes #2, #3, #9, #11, and #19. The results are discussed in relation to the cytogenetic findings in other solid tumors, especially those of the prostate and leiomyosarcoma at other sites.

Leiomyosarcoma of prostate gland

A case of leiomyosarcoma of the prostate is presented. The patient was successfully treated with transperineal radon seed implantation and external irradiation. The five-year, disease-free survival suggests that such patients can benefit from this therapeutic approach.

Primary lymphosarcoma of prostate

A case of primary lymphosarcoma of the prostate in a seventy-one-year-old patient is presented. He had palliative surgical treatment and radiotherapy but died seven months later of heart failure with signs of metastatic disease. Treatment of this condition should include surgery and irradiation. Only its early discovery might change the prognosis.
