“…Embryonal prostatic rhabdomyosarcoma that occurs predominantly in male infants and children (median age of 5 years) is a rare and highly malignant tumour. Only sporadic cases have been reported in non-pediatric age group [ 1 , 2 , 3 ].…”

“…Characteristic features of EPRM published in literature include rapidly progressive obstructive urinary symptoms, smooth and firm enlargement of prostate on digital rectal examination, occasional suprapubic mass, regional lymph node spread, respiratory symptoms due to metastasis to lungs, osteoclastic bone metastases, and normal prostatic acid phosphates and prostate specific antigen levels [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]. The case presented here is atypical in terms of its inconspicuous presentation mimicking a systemic inflammatory response and in the authors’ best knowledge has not been reported before.…”

Primary rhabdomyosarcoma of the prostate is a malignancy primarily of pediatric age group with most cases seen during infancy and childhood. Majority present with urinary symptoms but the case we report here presented at 16 years of age and had unusually nonspecific and temporally protracted nature of symptoms prior to the presentation. This remarkable unusualness lead to a delay in presentation and contributed to an eventually unfavorable outcome.

Primary Embryonal Rhabdomyosarcoma of the Prostate in Adults

This study reports on a case of an adult patient with embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma of the prostate and comprehensively reviews the world literature on this subject. The patient was a 49-year-old man with advanced stage disease, who initially underwent transurethral tumor resection and after diagnosis was given courses of chemotherapy prior to undergoing radical cystoprostatevesiculectomy. The tumor underwent histological examination supplemented by immunohistochemical analysis. After surgery, the patient experienced a huge pelvic recurrence and eventually died of disease 1 year after the original diagnosis. The world literature was reviewed based both on a PubMed/Medline search and the reference lists of all the available publications on this subject and only 24 cases of primary embryonal prostatic rhabdomyosarcoma have been found in the world literature in adult males (≥ 18 years). Embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma of the prostate in adults is a very rare and aggressive disease. The long-term disease-specific survival rate is poor. Stage influences the outcome. Early diagnosis and complete surgical resection offer patients the best chance of improved survival.

With the increasing incidence of lung cancer, the coexistence of pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) and lung cancer is becoming more common. However, the standard treatment protocols for patients with both conditions are still being explored. The conflict between the rapidly evolving therapeutic approaches for tumors and the limited treatment options for PAP presents a significant challenge for clinicians. Determining the optimal timing of treatment for both conditions to maximize patient benefit is a clinical conundrum. Here, we report a rare case of PAP complicated by lung adenocarcinoma, where interstitial lung changes worsened after neoadjuvant therapy but improved significantly following surgical resection of the lung adenocarcinoma. This case highlights the importance of prioritizing tumor treatment in patients with lung cancer complicated by PAP and examines the interplay between the two conditions, as well as potential therapeutic strategies.
