ABSTRACT

The sarcomas of the prostate are very rare pathologies and to the poor prognosis. Their association is possible with a prostatic adenocarcinoma, and the diagnosis is then revealed only during the anatomopathological examination of the operative specimen with the immunohistochemical analysis which makes it possible to characterize them. Because of their rapidly invasive potential, it is important to be able to detect them early, especially in young people. We report in this article two cases of prostatic sarcomas treated and we review the literature concerning this pathology.
