ABSTRACT
Even though most tumors located in the prostate derive from prostatic glands, there is a long list of malignant and nonmalignant causes for prostatic growths that clinicians should be aware of. Tumors of the prostate can be grouped in epithelial, neuroendocrine, stromal, mesenchymal, hematolymphoid, and miscellaneous. Solitary fibrous tumor of the prostate (SFT), is an extremely rare mesenchymal tumor (only about 20 cases reported in the literature). Histologic features resemble those of the more common variant pleural SFT. Of all, 10%-20% of SFTs, also known as malignant SFTs, behave aggressively. Herein, we describe a case of prostatic SFT in a 66-year-old patient that presented with obstructive urinary symptoms and normal prostate-specific antigen levels.
