We report a case of a 73-year-old female with a tumour of the tongue, operated with two relapses. A single metastasis to the lymph node was present. Currently, the patient is alive without evidence of disease. The histological diagnosis of cribriform adenocarcinoma of the tongue was rendered. The differential diagnosis of adenocarcinomas of the tongue is discussed.

Metastasis of prostate cancer to the testes is exceptionally rare. We report the case of a 67-year-old male with a 10-year history of high-risk prostate cancer, previously treated and currently in remission, who presented with left scrotal swelling. The swelling was clinically and radiologically diagnosed as a hydrocele and treated surgically.

Prostatic adenocarcinomas with large cribriform glands/intraductal carcinoma (LC/IDC), or the recently proposed unfavorable histology, are associated with adverse outcomes after radical prostatectomy. However, Gleason pattern 4 carcinomas without LC/IDC (or unfavorable histology) have minimal risk for aggressive clinical behavior after prostatectomy. As proof-of-principle study, we collected a cohort of 485 radical prostatectomy specimens to assess correlations between different subtypes of Gleason pattern 4 disease and the presence of adjacent high-risk prostatic adenocarcinoma, defined as LC/IDC or unfavorable histology.

Background: Intraductal carcinoma (IDC) and cribriform pattern (Crib) of prostate cancer are recognised as independent prognosticators of poor outcome, both in prostate biopsies and radical prostatectomy (RP) specimens.
Objective: This study aimed to determine the predictive value of Free-to-total PSA ratio (FPSAR) in identifying missed IDC/Crib at the time of biopsy as compared to the final surgical specimen.
Materials And Methods: Patients who underwent RP between January 2015 and December 2022 were included in the study.

It remains to be determined if the prognostic value of cribriform morphology (Crib) associated with intraductal carcinoma of the prostate (IDC) is equivalent to that in conventional/acinar prostatic adenocarcinoma (CPA). We herein assessed radical prostatectomy findings and long-term oncologic outcomes in 732 men with Grade Group 2-4 CPA without any Gleason pattern 5. Our cases were divided into four cohorts according to the absence or presence of Crib within CPA and/or IDC: Cohort-1, no Crib (n=347; 47.
