RESUMO
Leiomyosarcoma of the prostate is a rare and aggressive tumor, with a quarter of the patients harboring metastatic disease, commonly in the lung. It usually presents with urinary obstruction in a relatively younger patient group. A 29-year-old male presented with lower urinary tract symptoms to the urologist. Computed tomography scan revealed a large pelvic mass involving the prostate. Biopsy on two occasions yielded leiomyoma. Instead of conventional radical surgery, en-bloc resection of the mass was done while preserving the remaining portion of the prostate, seminal vesicles, and ejaculatory duct. Histopathology revealed a high-grade leiomyosarcoma with negative margins. The patient had excellent recovery of defecation, erectile, and ejaculatory functions within 2 months after adjuvant radiotherapy. At the 24-month follow-up there was no evidence of disease. En-bloc resection of the tumor can be considered in select cases to improve functional outcomes and sustain a higher quality of life in patients.
