Prostatic stromal tumour of uncertain malignant potential
Prostatic stromal tumour of uncertain malignant potential, abbreviated PSTUMP, is a rare lesion of the prostatic stroma which cannot be definitively classified as benign or malignant.
It may be abbreviated as STUMP;[1] an abbreviation used for a uterine lesion of uncertain malignant potential.
It is also known as prostatic stromal proliferation of uncertain malignant potential (abbreviated PSPUMP).[2]
