Core Tip |
Primary seminoma of the prostate (PSP) is a rare type of extragonadal germ cell tumour that is easily misdiagnosed, owing to the lack of specific clinical features. To the best of our knowledge, there have been only 13 cases of PSP reported in the literature, and there is a lack of systemic research on the condition. Through this case report and literature review, we suggested that PSP should be considered in patients younger than 60 years with an enlarged prostate invading the bladder neck. This symptom occurs in 92.9% of PSP patients, and has a high sensitivity but low specificity for diagnosis. However, additional prostate biopsies may aid diagnosis, and histopathological studies are the most effective diagnostic technique. The prognoses of PSP patients are often good. While cisplatin-based chemotherapy remains to be the first-line treatment, surgery or radiotherapy may also be important options, depending on each patient’s response to chemotherapy and the location of the residual tumour. |
