Prostatic extra-gastrointestinal stromal tumors (E-GIST) are rare mesenchymal tumors with only 9-cases reported in the English literature so far. We herein describe a case of E-GIST causing massive enlargement of the prostate gland. A 55-year-old male was diagnosed with localized prostatic E-GIST causing massive prostatomegaly (1230 cc) during workup for lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). The patient was managed with Imatinib mesylate therapy as high anesthetic risks precluded surgery. Given the rarity, E-GISTs should be included in the differential diagnosis of patients presenting with LUTS as it may influence the treatment decisions.
前列腺外胃肠道间质瘤（E-GIST）是一种罕见的间叶组织肿瘤，迄今为止英文文献中仅报道过9例。我们在此描述1例导致前列腺显著增大的E-GIST病例。一名55岁男性在因下尿路症状（LUTS）进行检查期间，被诊断为局限性前列腺E-GIST，导致前列腺显著增大（1230立方厘米）。由于麻醉风险高，该患者接受甲磺酸伊马替尼治疗而非手术。鉴于其罕见性，E-GIST应纳入LUTS患者的鉴别诊断，因为这可能会影响治疗决策。
