Alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS) is a rare, malignant neoplasm, which mostly occurs in the upper and lower extremities. This article presents an unusual case of ASPS involving the penis of a 3-year-old boy. To our knowledge, this is the first case of ASPS in the penis of a child.
The patient complained of slight penile pain for 1 year and a soft tissue mass could be palpated in his penis.
Imaging was performed on the penis. The pathological feature of the mass was evaluated through biopsy examination. It was found that the mass was an alveolar soft tissue sarcoma, which was then confirmed by immunohistochemistry.
The patient only underwent a partial penectomy because his parents wished to keep the penis. Conventional chemotherapy has been performed for 6 months after the surgery.
At 28-month follow-up the mass did not increase apparently, and no signs of metastasis were found.
ASPS may occur originally in the penis.
肺泡软组织肉瘤(ASPS)是一种罕见的恶性肿瘤,主要发生于上下肢。本文介绍了一例累及一名3岁男孩阴茎的罕见ASPS病例。据我们所知,这是首例儿童阴茎ASPS病例。
患者主诉阴茎轻微疼痛1年,阴茎可触及软组织肿块。
对阴茎进行了影像学检查。通过活检评估肿块的病理特征。发现肿块为肺泡软组织肉瘤,免疫组化予以确诊。
由于患儿父母希望保留阴茎,患者仅接受了部分阴茎切除术。术后进行了6个月的常规化疗。
随访28个月时,肿块无明显增大,未发现转移迹象。
ASPS可能原发于阴茎。
