[Atypical prostatic leiomyoma: a new case with cytodensitometric analysis].
Atypical prostatic leiomyoma is a very rare benign tumor. We report here a new case with a cytodensitometric analysis. The result of cytodensitometry is a polyploid tumor that is well correlated with the morphology of nuclear multilobulated cells of this tumor. The differential diagnosis is essentially the leiomyosarcoma which is characterized by the absence of mitotic activity.
