Sumario:Extragastrointestinal stromal tumors (EGISTs) are uncommon manifestation of gastrointestinal stromal tumors originating from cells outside the gastrointestinal tract. Documented sites of EGISTs include the omentum, mesentery, retroperitoneum, and prostate gland. Prostatic EGISTs are rare entities, which have been sporadically observed, yet all of them were found to be confined within enlarged prostates. We herein report a rare case of EGIST in a 66-year-old man, presenting as a large exophytic prostatic mass.
