Abstract

Atypical myxoid smooth muscle tumor (AMSMT) of the prostate is a rare neoplasm not previously described in the radiographic literature. This report describes the unusual appearance of this tumor during endorectal ultrasound (ERUS), color Doppler imaging (CDI), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in a 26-year-old man.
