Presentation
Case Presentation A 72-year-old male presented with 6 months of progressive severe lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) secondary to bladder outlet obstruction. [mdedge.com]
The most common presenting manifestations (among 38 patients for whom clinical data regarding presenting symptoms were available) included obstructive urinary symptoms in 89.4% and perineal or rectal pain in 25.6% of the patients. [hindawi.com]
Figure 2 A 76-year-old man with leiomyosarcoma presented with urinary obstruction. Axial, unenhanced CT image shows that the tumour appears as a lobular, heterogeneous mass. [clinicalradiologyonline.net]
OBJECTIVE: To present our institutional experience with adult prostate sarcoma over 30 years. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We reviewed 38 cases of adult prostate sarcoma diagnosed and treated at our institution between 1982 and 2012. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Musculoskeletal
- Muscle Weakness
These include problems with wound healing, fibrosis of the skin, muscle weakness, joint stiffness, and edema (swelling). These wound complications may necessitate reoperation or amputation. [floridaproton.org]
Neurologic
- Burning Sensation
A change in the nipple, such as a nipple retraction, dimpling, itching, a burning sensation, or ulceration. A scaly rash of the nipple is symptomatic of Paget's disease, which may be associated with an underlying breast cancer. [janssen.com]
For example, more frequent urination (especially at night); pain or burning sensation while urinating; urinary retention (an inability to fully empty the bladder); difficulty in starting, maintaining, or stopping the urine stream; straining to urinate [bumrungrad.com]

Cancerous tumors are usually detected within 0.3 cm of the capsule.6 Diffuse prostatic cancers could mimic diffuse benign prostate diseases such as nodular hyperplasia, nonspecific chronic inflammation, malakoplakia, and tuberculosis. [onlinelibrary.wiley.com]
[…] often misdiagnosed and confused with diffuse benign prostate diseases such as nodular hyperplasia, nonspecific chronic inflammation, malakoplakia, and tuberculosis. [8] Microscopically, there is overlapping of morphological features. [ccij-online.org]
However, there appears to no specific tumor marker for the disease in the serum. The present study reports a case of a young male patient who was diagnosed with prostate rhabdomyosarcoma. [spandidos-publications.com]
- Enlargement of the Prostate
On examination, the bladder was palpable, genitalia were normal and on digital rectal examination, the prostate was non tender, lobulated, asymmetrically enlarged with variegated consistency. [cancerjournal.net]
Physical examination reveals nonspecific enlargement of the prostate, while serum PSA is typically within normal limits [2, 3, 7]. [hindawi.com]

BPH occurs in elderly men, the imaging differences from prostate sarcoma are that BPH patients show an evenly enlarged prostate with even density. [journals.lww.com]
Indeed, most, if not all of these can occur in men with noncancerous (benign) enlargement of the prostate (BPH), which is the more common form of prostate enlargement. [emedicinehealth.com]
Workup
Workup with urinalysis, blood biochemistry, and prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels were persistently normal. He reported no hematuria, weight loss, or perineal pain. [mdedge.com]
Metastatic workup showed no nodal or distant spread, T1N0M0 stage I. After orchiectomy, the patient underwent adjuvant external beam radiotherapy to the para-aortic nodes. [emedicine.medscape.com]
The staging workup subsequently showed a locally advanced prostate cancer. He was also started on hormonal therapy with leutinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) analogue. [urologyannals.com]
If there is hemorrhage, internal complexity, or a solid component within the cyst, further workup for malignancy is warranted. [pubs.rsna.org]
What Is Prostate Cancer Workup? If cancer is present on biopsy, workup for metastasis may be indicated. Imaging studies may reveal the size and location of the tumor in the prostate as well as the extent of spread of the disease. [emedicinehealth.com]
Treatment
Therapy should be carried out within clinical trials to improve treatment of this rare disease. [urology-textbook.com]

Prostatic leiomyosarcoma is an aggressive malignancy with a high risk of metastasis and a poor prognosis that poses unique diagnostic and treatment challenges. [mdedge.com]
Both treatments locally failed with an increasing prostate-specific antigen (PSA). [urotoday.com]
Prognosis
Some show a very good prognosis, especially with spindle cell or botryoid histology. Alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma: is more common in the extremities as in the urogenital system, it has a poor prognosis. [urology-textbook.com]
Postradiation sarcoma (PRS) usually has a dismal prognosis and only very limited therapeutic possibilities. [karger.com]
According to the literature, the prognosis of patients with prostate leiomyosarcoma is poor. [spandidos-publications.com]
If you have soft tissue sarcoma, you may have questions about your prognosis. A prognosis is the doctor’s best estimate of how cancer will affect someone and how it will respond to treatment. Prognosis and survival depend on many factors. [cancer.ca]
Average life expectancy is <1 year and the prognosis is poor. CTx and radiation therapy can't yield curative effects due to poor differentiation. [urologyannals.com]
