Stromal Tumor of Uncertain Malignant Potential (STUMP) With PSA >500 ng/ml: A Case Report
Stromal tumors of uncertain malignant potential (STUMP) are rare diagnoses in the evaluation of elevated PSA. The management of STUMP in the setting of an elevated PSA is challenging, as STUMP may have a benign clinical course. In this report, we describe a patient who was found to have a PSA >50...

| description | Stromal tumors of uncertain malignant potential (STUMP) are rare diagnoses in the evaluation of elevated PSA. The management of STUMP in the setting of an elevated PSA is challenging, as STUMP may have a benign clinical course. In this report, we describe a patient who was found to have a PSA >500 ng/ml and a large STUMP. We review the critical findings and review the relevant literature on diagnosis and management strategies for patients with STUMP. |
