Abstract
-
Small cell carcinoma of the prostate is rare, accounting for approximately 1% of all prostatic cancer. However the identification of small cell carcinoma of the prostate has increased in recent years, probably reflecting the increasing use of the electron microscope and immunohistochemistry. We report a case of pure small cell carcinoma and a case of small cell carcinoma mixed with adenocarcinoma of the prostate.
