Description
Summary:Mesenchymal tumors of the prostate are seen relatively rare in comparison with epithelial tumors and constitute less than 1% of all tumors (1). Despite they are seen rarely, there are great numbers of lesions in the differential diagnosis of mesenchymal tumors. Since mesenchymal tumors of the prostate are seen rarely, pathologists have very limited experience in this regard. Additionally, mesenchymal tumors show morphologically significant overlap with epithelial tumors causing problem particularly in the differential diagnosis of spindle cell mesenchymal tumors and they frequently require ancillary methods for accurate diagnosis.
