Mixed adenocarcinoma and neuroendocrine prostate cancer: a case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
BACKGROUND Neuroendocrine prostate cancer is rare but lethal. It is one of the most common extra pulmonary manifestations of small cell cancer. CASE PRESENTATION Here we present a case report of a 53-year-old male who presents with a mixed adenocarcinoma and neuroendocrine prostate tumor on a background of previously normal prostate-specific antigen (PSA). His initial symptoms prior to diagnosis included decreased urine output and acute kidney injury (AKI). CONCLUSION Neuroendocrine tumor does not elevate the PSA level and hence is often a late finding with a poor prognosis. Special staining on histopathogy is required to reveal this diagnosis.

Carcinoid tumor of the prostate is extremely rare. Here we report a unique case of prostate cancer that underwent complete transformation from conventional adenocarcinoma to carcinoid-like tumor shortly after androgen-deprivation treatment (ADT). The patient was a 59-year-old man who presented with lower urinary tract symptoms. His biopsy specimen demonstrated a high-grade prostatic adenocarcin...

Although prostate cancer is common in the western world and is associated with favorable overall survival, neuroendocrine prostate cancer is difficult to detect and is known to aggressively metastasize throughout the body. This subset of disease thus has a poor prognosis, and early detection and treatment of neuroendocrine prostate cancer may increase overall survival. We present a case of a no...

BACKGROUND Solitary lung metastasis from prostate cancer is rare. There are few reports of such cases with neuroendocrine differentiation. CASE PRESENTATION A 50-year-old man presented to our hospital with a chief complaint of dysuria. Histological examination revealed prostate cancer, which was classified as cT4 N0 M0, stage IV adenocarcinoma. Since the patient was at high risk, endocrine an...

Neuroendocrine differentiation (NED), which is not uncommon in prostate cancer, is increases in prostate cancer after androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) and generally appears in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Neuroendocrine cells, which are found in normal prostate tissue, are a small subset of cells and have unique function in regulating the growth of prostate cells. Prostate can...
