ABSTRACT
Rhadomyosarcoma of the prostate is relatively rare and highly malignant condition. Three major categories of rhabdomyosarcoma exist, which should be kept clearly separated pleomorphic, embryonal, and alveolar Pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcoma is actually the least common of the three categories. It arises from myotome-derived skeletal muscle and occurs almost exclusively in adults. We make the unequivocal diagnosis of pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcoma only if we can detect cross striations in some of the tumor cells. Herein we experienced a pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcoma of the prostate which is generally not found in the urogenital area and reviewed literature briefly.
