Abstract:
Adenoid cystic carcinoma occurs most commonly in the salivary glands, and also has been recognized in numerous other locations. However, it is rarely found in the prostate. We report a case of adenoid cystic c arcinoma of the prostate in a 77-year-old man whose chief complaint was urinary retention. Digital rectal examination transrectal ultrasonography revealed a markedly enlarged prostated and PSA was 4.6ng/ml. The transurethral prostatectomy was performed and the histopathological diagnosis was the adenoid cystic carcinoma. We review the clinical and pathologic feature of this disease.
