Spindle cell embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma of the prostate in an adult patient – case report and review of clinicopathological features

BACKGROUND: Embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma of the prostate in an adult is a very rare event with only a few cases published. Diagnosis usually occurs with advanced disease frequently already with metastatic spread. In adults prognosis is very poor, therefore early diagnosis is crucial. To date, only thr...

description BACKGROUND: Embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma of the prostate in an adult is a very rare event with only a few cases published. Diagnosis usually occurs with advanced disease frequently already with metastatic spread. In adults prognosis is very poor, therefore early diagnosis is crucial. To date, only three cases of spindle cell subtype of embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma of the prostate in an adult have been published. CASE PRESENTATION: We report an additional case of prostatic spindle cell embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma subtype in an adult. CONCLUSIONS: We discuss relevant clinicopathological features of spindle cell embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma of the prostate in adult patients in the context of the literature.
