Hemangioma of the prostate with retrograde ejaculation - a case report

INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE: Hemangioma of the prostate is rarely reported. We here describe a hemangioma of the prostate in a 31-year-old man. CASE PRESENTATION: The history, imaging characteristics, treatment and one year follow-up results were well documented. The chief complaint was retrograde ejaculation. A 3.1 cm × 2.9 cm mass in the prostate was detected by ultrasound. Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) was performed. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: Pathological examination revealed the mass was hemangioma. Immunohistochemical study found the tissue was SMA, CD34, CD31 positive, but D2–40 negative. Imaging feature combined with pathological result suggests the diagnosis of hemangioma of the prostate. One year follow-up revealed the patient was infertile. CONCLUSION: We suggest TURP should be performed to remove the hemangioma. Combined treatment is necessary to resolve the patient's infertility.
