Abstract:
Objective To investigate the clinical features,diagnosis and treatment of prostate sarcoma. Methods19 cases of prostate sarcoma had been treated in our hospital from Oct 1995 to Sep 2010,aged from 16 to 48 years (mean,36 years).They were hospitalized due to different degrees of difficulty in urination,6 cases with bladder irritation,3 cases with gross hematuria,3 cases with blood clots in urination,3 cases with difficult defecation,2 cases with urinary tract infection,and 1 case with low back pain.Digital rectal examination showed prostate volume increased significantly in 16 cases,of which 6 cases prominent into bladder,and 3 cases touched hard nodules and tenderness.B ultrasound examination showed prostate neoplasms with internal echo uneven.Pelvic MRI in 12 cases indicated irregular soft tissue density in prostate with unclear edge,a high-low mixed signal inside,and mass protruding outward,among which 7 cases with significantly enlarged prostates and unclear bladder boundaries,6 cases with unclear boundaries with rectum,and 1 case with solid and cystic change. Pelvic CT in 10 cases showed irregular prostate tumors,among which 5 cases with tumor violation of bilateral seminal vesicle,2 cases with tumor invasion of unilateral seminal vesicle,and 3 cases with lymph node enlargement.Chest X-ray in 2 cases showed widespread metastatic lung. Results Different treatments were used according to different conditions:6 cases with full cystoprostatectomy,8 cases with radical prostatectomy,1 case with skin routine ureter fistulization and rectal fistulization,1 case with bladder fistulization,1 case with chemotherapy after prostate biopsy,and 2 cases with prostate biopsy alone. Pathological diagnosis showed 6 cases of leiomyosarcoma,6 cases of rhabdomyosarcoma,2 cases of malignant mesenchymal tumor,1 case of phyllodes sarcoma,1 case of granulocytic sarcoma,1 case of phyllodes sarcoma,1 case of malignant fibrous tissue sarcoma,and 1 case of poorly differentiated muscle induced sarcoma. Immunohistochemical examination in 19 cases of paraffin specimens stained with SP showed vimentin was positive,smooth muscle actin and myoglobin in leiomyosarcoma and rhabdomyosarcoma were positive respectively,and desmin in two kinds of afore-mentioned sarcoma expressed in different level.CD117 and S-100 were weakly positive in 1 patient with undifferentiated component and 1 patient with liposarcoma of the malignant mesenchymoma.Peroxidase was positive in granulocytic sarcoma,p63 was positive in lobulated sarcoma,and CD34 was positive in malignant fibrous histiocytoma.14 patients were given chemotherapy,among which 6 cases were combined with radiotherapy.19 cases were followed up for 4 -30 months (mean 13 months).4 patients survived for 24 -30 months without recurrence,while 15 cases died within 18 months after diagnosis. Conclusions The prostate sarcoma is a clinically rare malignant tumor with high degree of malignancy and unspecific clinical manifestations.The diagnosis relies on biopsy and immunohistochemistry,and early diagnosis and radical surgical excision are helpful for increasing survival rate.
