Leiomyosarcoma arising in atypical fibromuscular hyperplasia (phyllodes tumor) of the prostate with distant metastasis

Cancer. 1991 Aug 15;68(4):910-5. doi: 10.1002/1097-0142(19910815)68:4<910::aid-cncr2820680439>3.0.co;2-j.

Abstract

An extremely rare neoplasm of the prostate, commonly known as phyllodes type of atypical prostatic hyperplasia, is described in a 57-year-old man. Over a 2-year period, the atypical smooth muscle component has transformed into leiomyosarcoma, and eventually metastasized to the bones and the lungs. Such an evolution has never been documented for this tumor.
