“…Clinically, most patients with prostatic sarcoma suffered from urinary retention [6,7], although hematuria, dysuria, frequency, and nocturia also could occur. Prostatic sarcoma is generally considered an aggressive malignancy and it easily metastasizes to lung [8] and bone [9]. Prognosis is generally poor, with a medium survival less than 15 months and only 10% of patients surviving more than 3 years [10].…”

“…Phyllodes tumor is a rare neoplasm of the prostate which may undergo sarcomatous transformation, is prone to early recurrences, infiltrative growth, and has potential for extraprostatic spread. [3][4][5][6][7] Benign clinical courses have been cited, but the follow-up time has been limited. 33 In regards to the stroma, Gaudin et al 34 proposed the clinicopathologic categories of prostatic stromal proliferation of uncertain malignant potential and prostatic stromal sarcoma to differentiate these entities from other mesenchymal lesions of the prostate, using immunohistochemical staining data in conjunction with morphological criteria.…”

“…Unquestionably, the potential for sarcomatous transformation, recurrence, and infiltrative growth exists, but the frequency of these changes and their prognostic significance is unclear. [3][4][5][6][7] Little is known about the genetic abnormalities in this tumor. Oncogene activation and tumor suppressor gene inactivation are important mechanisms in the genesis, propagation, and spread of most cancers, but the role of these processes in phyllodes tumor has not been previously explored.…”

“…7 To better study the outcome, Bostwick and colleagues 2 introduced a grading system for PTP based on 5 histologic features (stromal cellularity, cytological atypia, mitotic number of figures, stroma-to-epithelium ratio and necrosis) determining a low, intermediate and high grade. They found a trend towards a higher incidence of recurrence and decreased survival in high-compared to lowgrade tumours.…”
