Re-evaluating tumors of purported specialized prostatic stromal origin: Distinct entities or Heterogenous mesenchymal neoplasms?

The host is joined by Dr. Andres Acosta from the Brigham and Women Hospital. Dr Acosta discusses, on behalf of a distinguished group of coauthors, their recent somewhat provocative modern pathology publication proposing that mesenchymal neoplasms of the prostate are morphologically and molecularly heterogeneous lesions that include neoplasms that harbor genetic aberrations seen in specific mesenchymal tumors arising in other anatomic sites, such as soft tissue and the uterus. Study by Acosta et al, Re-evaluating tumors of purported specialized prostatic stromal origin reveals molecular heterogeneity, including non-recurring gene fusions characteristic of uterine and soft tissue sarcoma subtypes. Modern Pathology, 34, 1763–1779 (2021). https://www.nature.com/articles/s41379-021-00818-6.
