  • Title: Primary leiomyosarcoma of the prostate with lung metastasis: report of a case diagnosed by fine-needle aspiration cytology.
    Author: Barwad A, Khandelwal N, Vyas S, Gogoi D, Dey P.
    Journal: Diagn Cytopathol; 2011 Sep; 39(9):700-2. PubMed ID: 21837659.
    Abstract:
    Prostate leiomyosarcoma is an extremely rare and highly aggressive neoplasm that accounts for less than 0.1% of primary prostate malignancies. Herein, we present a patient with primary leiomyosarcoma of the prostate with lung metastasis diagnosed primarily on fine-needle aspiration cytology. Characteristic cytological features such as small fascicles of spindle cells with blunt-ended nuclei, positivity for desmin and smooth muscle actin along with the radiological features are helpful in the correct diagnosis.
