Urol Case Rep. 2016 Jul 20:8:44-6. doi: 10.1016/j.eucr.2016.06.005. eCollection 2016 Sep.

Abstract

We report the case of a 51-year-old gentleman presenting with obstructive and irritative urinary symptoms, found to have a large prostate mass on imaging. A radical prostatectomy was performed and pathological diagnosis revealed a 12 cm mammary-type myofibroblastoma replacing the entire prostate. Mammary-type myofibroblastoma is a rare lesion outside of the breast, and is considered benign. This is the first reported case of a mammary-type myofibroblastoma occurring in the prostate.

Keywords: Mammary-type myofibroblastoma; Prostate mass; Urinary retention.
