AI Article Synopsis
- Mixed tumors in the prostate can either develop from the gland itself or result from metastatic cancer spreading to the prostate.
- A case study is presented involving a 72-year-old man diagnosed with a rare primary prostate mixed carcinoma that exhibits features of acinar, ductal, and neuroendocrine adenocarcinomas.
- The report delves into the clinical, diagnostic, and treatment challenges associated with these unusual types of prostate tumors.
Article Abstract
Mixed tumors in the prostate gland have been described; they are primarily originate in the gland or are the product of metastatic compromise. Mixed primary epithelial carcinomas of the prostate are very rare; here we report the case of a 72-years-old man with histopathologic findings of a primary prostate mixed carcinoma, showing characteristics of acinar, ductal and neuroendocrine adenocarcinoma. We also discuss the clinical, diagnostic, and therapeutic aspects of these uncommon mixed neoplasms.
