Core Tip
Core tip: An extremely rare case of prostatic stromal sarcoma is presented. The rhabdoid component represented only a minor part of the tumor, as revealed by pathology study. Detailed diagnostic information on this rare tumor type has been reported in the literature, although the molecular pathogenesis remains largely unknown. The β-catenin immunoreactivity of the tumor in our case suggests that the tumorigenesis process may involve the Wnt pathway.
