Mucinous adenocarcinoma of the prostate is rare and its biological behavior is not well known. We report a case of mucinous adenocarcinoma of the prostate, which was treated successfully with castration. Positivity for prostatic specific antigen by immunohistochemistry confirmed the prostatic origin of this tumor. A review of the literature revealed 30 authentic cases. Prostatic mucinous adenoc...

This article presents a clinical case demonstrating the possibilities of MRI pelvic under assumption histological variant prostate tumor. The main MR-patterns ductal adenocarcinoma, as well variants their occurrence are considered. authors present an analysis data differential diagnosis various cancer.

Disseminated intravascular coagulation, acquired hemophilia, and hyperfibrinolysis induced by prostate adenocarcinoma were first considered in the differential diagnosis of a patient who had been diagnosed with prostate adenocarcinoma and complicated with hemorrhage. Clinical progression and lack of response to other treatments directed us toward the diagnosis of hyperfibrinolysis and tranexami...

AIMS To establish the clinicopathological features of minimal volume prostate adenocarcinoma on prostate biopsy. METHODS Twenty four cases of minimal adenocarcinoma diagnosed on prostate biopsy and treated by radical prostatectomy were reviewed. RESULTS The major microscopic criteria were nuclear enlargement (22 of 24), infiltrative pattern (19 of 24), prominent nucleoli (19 of 24), intralu...

Sarcomatoid carcinoma (SC) of prostate gland is a rare biphasic tumour. In about half of cases, initial diagnosis is acinar adenocarcinoma, followed by nonsurgical therapy, with a subsequent diagnosis of SC. The survival rate is lower. We report a case of an 59-years-old man with unusual histopathologic finding of prostate sarcomatoid carcinoma, showing characteristics of ductal prostatic adeno...

Objectives: To determine the prevalence of prostate cancer and to assess potential associations between race and prostate adenocarcinoma according to age in patients followed in an outpatient service of general urology in an university hospital. Materials and Methods: Retrospective study of men aged from 40 to 79 years, followed during the period from 1999 to 2001. Patients were classified acco...

Metastasis of gastric adenocarcinoma to the prostate gland is extremely rare. Herein, we report a case of gastric adenocarcinoma in a 56-year-old man with prostatic metastasis diagnosed through the analysis of biopsy specimens from representative lesions in the stomach and prostate gland. Immunohistochemistry of the prostatic tissue showed positive staining for cytokeratin 7 and negative staini...

Luekemic infiltration of the prostate is unusual. Acute urinary retention as an initial presentation of chronic lymphocytic leukemia is found only in sporadic cases. Organ confmed adenocarcinoma of prostate associated with chronic lymphocytic leukemia and presenting as acute urinary retention is to our knowledge not reported in literature. This report documents a case of acute urinary retention...

We present a case of primary mucinous adenocarcinoma of the prostate. A 55-year-old male with no previous history of malignancy presented to our hospital with difficult defecation and anus distention; on magnetic resonance imaging scan of the pelvis, we found a prostate tumor. A transrectal ultrasound-guided needle biopsy confirmed the diagnosis. The patient underwent radical prostatectomy. Pri...
