A RARE CASE OF SARCOMA PROSTATE

Leiomyosarcoma of the prostate is a rare entity. It is the most common prostate sarcoma in the elderly. The malignant mesenchymal lesions of the prostate has been classified into sarcomas of specialised prostatic stroma (stromal proliferations of uncertain malignant potential and prostatic stromal sarcoma) and other sarcomas equivalent to their soft tissue counterparts. The latter group accounts for only 0.1-0.2 of all primary prostatic tumours. We report a patient who presented to us with obstructive symptoms.
