A case of organ-preserving treatment of prostate stromal tumor with an uncertain malignancy potential is presented in the article. The patient underwent laparoscopic resection of the prostate neoplasm. Mesenchymal prostate tumors are rare. Their diagnosis is difficult due to the lack of experience of both pathologists and urologists. Mesenchymal neoplasms include prostate stromal tumors of uncertain malignant potential. Due to the rare occurrence of these tumors and the difficulties of its diagnosis, there is no recommended treatment algorithm. Taking into account the anatomical location of the tumor, the patient underwent enucleoresection without removing the entire prostate. The control examination, including pelvic MRI, was carried out after 3 months. There were no signs of disease progression. The presented clinical case of prostate preservation during resection of a prostate stromal tumor of uncertain malignancy potential demonstrates a possibility of organ-preserving procedures in such a rare disease. However, due to a small number of publications and a short follow-up period, these tumors require further study and evaluation of long-term results.
