Rhabdomyosarcoma of the prostate: Mr findings SUMMARY: Prostatic rhabdomyosarcoma is a rare tumor, especially in the elderly, and has extremely poor prognosis.

Rectal digital examination found a large mass compressing the rectum, which was suspected tumor of the prostate. Ultrasound: Prostate was enlarged and heterogenous. Perineal biopsy revealed rhabdomyosarcoma. MR examination demonstrated the tumor arises from peripheral gland zone of the right lobe, developing outward, encasing the left lobe, seminal vesicles, compressing the rectum. The tumor was lobulated, seperated by fibrous septa, heterogenous hyperintensity on T2W, with many hemorrhage foci due to recent biopsy. The tumor enhanced heterogenously after contrast administration. Key worlds: MRI, prostate, sarcoma
