Recurrent Prostatic Stromal Tumor of Uncertain Malignant Potential Combined with Concurrent Prostatic Adenocarcinoma: An Unusual Case

Abstract

Prostatic stromal tumor of uncertain malignant potential (STUMP), characterized by an atypical, unique stromal proliferation of the prostate, is often difficult to be differentiated from other nonepithelial neoplastic lesions. We present a unique case of recurrent STUMP after transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) with concurrent prostatic adenocarcinoma. Patients diagnosed with prostatic STUMP should be followed up closely, for it may recur and invade adjacent organs after TURP shortly. Concurrent prostatic adenocarcinoma can be found in STUMP patients, and there may be some potential mechanisms which promote the simultaneous occurrence of the 2 tumors.
