“…Treatment with laser may obviate the need for open and extensive surgery. Hemangiomas treated with KTP, Nd: YAG and holmium laser all reported excellent results [5,7,8]. Also selective arterial embolisation has been reported [9].…”

Urethral hemangiomas are rare benign vascular tumors with varying size and usually present as urethral bleeding and/ or hematuria. Treatment depends on the size and site of the lesion. We present a 27 year old male with a two year history of intermittent episodes of urethral bleeding. Cystourethroscopy showed a solitary hemangioma in the penile urethra. The patient was treated with simple transurethral excision with the biopsy forceps. The catheter was removed 48 hours later. He remains symptom free four months later. Simple excision of small hemangiomas may be an effective treatment especially for young patients in order to avoid the side effects of diathermy and when facilities such is laser are not available.

“…Generally, no discomfort will be felt. For some patients, the syndrome is hematuria [1][2][3][5][6][7][8] . In this case, cystourethroscopy and Doppler transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS) are typically performed for the examination.…”

“…Hayashi [7] suggested that transurethral resection is also effective for treatment. However, in De León's opinion [2] , the holmium laser should be one of the choices of treatment for hemangiomas in the prostatic urethra because it produces good outcomes and no complications. No matter which method is used, special attention should be paid to protecting the external sphincter of the urethra from damage to avoid urinary incontinence and urethral stricture.…”

Non‐epithelial neoplasms of the prostate

Non-epithelial prostatic neoplasms are infrequent and cover a broad array of entities that include both benign and highly aggressive tumours. Because they are very infrequent, there is often limited understanding of them, and the recognition of these entities, when encountered, may pose a diagnostic challenge, owing to histological overlap between them or their rarity. Most lesions in this category are mesenchymal in origin, such as prostatic stromal tumours arising from specialized prostatic stroma, smooth muscle tumours, both benign and malignant, and solitary fibrous tumours. Less commonly occurring tumours include neural, germ cell and melanocytic tumours that may be derived from cells not normally present in the prostate. Some tumours have well-established extraprostatic counterparts and, when encountered, are more commonly extraprostatic/secondary in origin; these include gastrointestinal stromal tumours and most haematopoietic tumours. The majority of tumours are characterized by a spindle cell pattern with significant overlap in morphological features. In this setting, appropriate use of immunohistochemistry and molecular studies are often necessary for accurate diagnosis, prognosis, or prediction for therapy. This review addresses and updates the clinicopathological features of the entire spectrum of non-epithelial tumours with an approach to the histological diagnosis.
