ABSTRACT
Mesenchymal neoplasms within the genitourinary tract include a wide spectrum of tumors, ranging from benign to malignant, and tumors of uncertain malignant potential. Except for stromal tumors of the prostate, which originate from the specific prostatic stroma, these neoplasms generally resemble their counterparts in other body sites. The rarity of these neoplasms and the limitation associated with small biopsy samples present unique diagnostic challenges for pathologists. Accurate diagnosis is paramount, as it significantly influences prognosis and guides management and treatment strategies. This review addresses common diagnostic scenarios, discusses key differential diagnoses, and sheds light on potential diagnostic pitfalls.
