Aggressive angiomyxoma of the prostate: A case report.

Rationale Aggressive angiomyxoma (AAM) of the prostate should be considered as a differential diagnosis for prostatic tumor presenting with classical symptoms of benign prostatic hypertrophy. Patient concerns A 55-year-old man experienced persisting symptoms of prostatic enlargement associated with urinary frequency and urgency and nocturia. Computed tomography images showed low density in the enlarged prostate. Diagnoses The diagnosis of AAM of the prostate was confirmed based on histopathological findings. Interventions The patient underwent transurethral resection of the prostate. Outcomes The patient was enrolled into a watchful waiting protocol. His condition was fine without signs of recurrence on magnetic resonance imaging at the 8-month follow-up. Lessons AAM of the prostate should be considered a possible cause of urinary difficulty, including retention, although this may be extremely rare. A reliable diagnosis and complete tumor removal enabled optimal treatment and prevention of tumor recurrence.
