Primary Urothelial Carcinoma of the Prostate: A Case Report

Prostate cancer is common and frequently a lethal type for men. While it would be diagnosed through Digital Rectal Examination (DRE) by the 50s, the gold standard diagnosis method for this disease is achieved through the pathological examination of the samples obtained through needle biopsy. The results of the prostate biopsy, i.e. pathological diagnosis, can be grouped into four: benign prostate hyperplasia, adenocarcinoma, Prostatic Intraepithelial Neoplasia (PIN) and Atypical Small Acinar Proliferation (ASAP). Urothelial carcinoma diagnosis is less often and is generally accompanied by urothelial carcinoma in the bladder or prostatic urethra as primary focus.
