Abstract
CLINICAL PRESENTATION: A 56-year-old Chinese male with previously diagnosed prostatic stromal tumour of uncertain malignant potential (STUMP) presented with urinary retention 6 years after transurethral resection of prostate (TURP). TREATMENT AND OUTCOME: Cystoscopy showed a papillary tumour of the prostatic urethra causing near-complete obstruction. Repeat TURP was performed. He has been asymptomatic since. CONCLUSION: There has been fewer than 100 cases of this lesion reported worldwide. Definitive treatment is not well established. Longterm follow-up to monitor progression and possible recurrence is required, and repeat TURP or radical surgery may be necessary.
