We report the unusual occurrence of a cellular angiofibroma in prostatic tissue. In this case, a 84-year-old man presented in the emergency room with urinary retention. Ultrasound revealed an enlarged prostate, which was suggestive for benign prostatic hyperplasia. The patient was treated with a Millin retropubic prostatectomy. Macroscopically the prostate contained multiple circumscribed nodules. Microscopic examination of the tumor showed the appearance of cellular angiofibroma, consisting of bland spindle cells and prominent, hyalinized vessels. The diagnosis was supported by FISH, which revealed monoallelic loss of RB1/13q14 region, as seen in spindle cell lipoma, (extra-) mammary myofibroblastoma, and cellular angiofibroma. Cellular angiofibromas are rare, benign soft tissue tumours and were never reported in the prostatic gland.

“…[ 1 ] In cellular angiofibroma, ultrasonography typically shows a solid mass with heterogeneous echogenicity. [ 5 6 7 8 9 10 ] These features, however, are inadequate to differentiate between benign and malignant lesion. Hence, further imaging naturally is required to evaluate further the mass.…”

Imaging modalities for an uncommon inguinal scrotal pathology: A case report and literature review

Inguinal scrotal swelling is a common presentation to surgical clinic with various differential diagnoses. In most circumstances, a good clinical assessment is sufficient to identify the diagnosis. Imaging is necessary when diagnostic difficulty was encountered. The choice of imaging study could affect the management and outcome. A 60-year-old male presented with an enlarging right inguinal scrotal swelling for 5 years. Clinical examination showed a swelling extended from the right inguinal region down to the right scrotum, firm, not reducible, and not separable from the right testis. Differential diagnoses range from the malignant testicular tumor, irreducible inguinal hernia to the soft-tissue tumor. Ultrasonography and computed tomography scan were unable to conclude the origin of the tumor and involvement of the right testis. Inguinal exploration with potential radical orchiectomy was planned and caused much distress to the patient, resulted in delay in surgery. Intraoperatively, the mass was separated from the testis and spermatic cord, and thus, excision biopsy was performed sparing the testis and spermatic cord. Histopathological examination showed cellular angiofibroma. The right choice of imaging modality is important to provide a precise diagnosis and better treatment plan. This could avoid the unnecessary distress to the patient for potential organ lost. A review through the literature showed the ability of magnetic resonance imaging to better delineate the anatomy of inguinal scrotal soft-tissue mass and thus should have been the imaging modality of choice.

“…Computer tomography may be performed for these patients; however it is not very beneficial to show tissue characteristics. Magnetic resonance imaging may show hyperintense appearance in T2-weighted phase depending on the tissue of origin or may show density changes due to rich vascularization [7].…”

Cellular Angiofibroma of the Spermatic Cord

et al. 2017

Cellular angiofibromas are rare, slow-growing mesenchymal tumours, most often localised in the vulva and perineum of women. We present a case of a 60-year-old male with a 7-cm large cellular angiofibroma in the inguinal canal extending toward the testis, detected after inguinal herniorraphy. Inguinal orchiectomy was performed and the pathology report revealed a cellular angiofibroma containing a lot of mast cells in the stroma, which was collagenised with spindle-shaped cells and characterised by hyalinised vascular structures. The localisation and nature of this type of mass makes initial diagnosis difficult. Differential diagnosis is important to rule out histologically malignant aggressive angiomyxomas and other solitary fibrous tumours. As local recurrence may occur after resection, long-term follow-up is necessary.
