Abstract
BACKGROUND
Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a relatively rare type of mesenchymal neoplasm that occurs most frequently in the pleura. However, SFT originating from the prostate is particularly uncommon and only approximately 39 cases were reported before. Herein, we reported a rare case of a patient diagnosed with prostate SFT and presented a literature review.Case presentation: A 50-year-old Asian with irritative urinary symptoms was admitted to our hospital and almost all the evidence indicated that benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) caused his symptoms. Therefore, transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) was performed, but histopathological and Immunohistochemical (IHC) assessments showed that spindle cells arranged disorderly in the TURP specimen with a cluster of differentiation 34 (CD34), B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), and signal transducer and activator of transcription 6 (STAT6) highly expressed and SFT was diagnosed. Finally, the patient underwent a radical prostatectomy and there was no disease progression observed thereafter.
CONCLUSIONS
Prostate SFT is extremely rare, and to our knowledge, this is the first case of prostate SFT that is difficult to differentiate from small volume BPH. IHC examinations are of great diagnostic value. Radical resection of the tumor appears to be the most effective method at present and continuous follow-up is highly recommended.
