DISCUSSIONSarcomas of the prostate are extremely rare, constituting only 0.1% to 0.2% of all prostatic neoplasms. However, presentation with obstructive voiding symptoms as in our case is common. 1, 2 Leiomyosarcoma and fibrosarcoma represent the 2 most common pathological types in adults. 3 Defining histopathological criteria include spindle cell proliferation (fig. 2, A), high cellularity, infiltrative growth pattern with areas of necrosis, and large numbers of mitotic figures as prominently seen in our case (fig. 2, B). Prostate sarcomas can be aggressive malignancies and present a significant therapeutic challenge. Reported median survival is less than 15 months from the time of diagnosis and there is only a 10% chance for survival longer than 3 years. 1, 3 Owing in large part to the rare occurrence of this tumor, no neoadjuvant or adjuvant treatment regimens of proven benefit have been established, while complete radical surgical resection remains the preferred treatment most likely to result in long-term survival. Because of the grim prognosis for high grade prostatic sarcoma, quality of life issues are important. Quinlan et al reported on long-term survival as well as successful preservation of potency and continence following partial cystectomy with a nerve sparing technique in a man with prostatic sarcoma. 3 Similar considerations encouraged us to perform a unilaterally nerve sparing cystectomy and continent urinary diversion on our patient. Despite successful surgery and negative margins, local and distant recurrence developed rapidly and was most likely secondary to unrecognized micrometastatic disease. Our case demonstrates the feasibility of potency preserving techniques and the difficult nature of high grade prostatic sarcoma.
