Abstract
-
Recently, the use of immunoperoxidase technique for the location of prostatic acid phosphatase is well established. We experienced 67 year-old male patient who taken TUR due to mass on bladder neck. Previously he had received Rt. radical nephrectomy due to renal cell carcinoma 6 years ago and TUR due to metastatic urethral adenocarcinoma from renal cell carcinoma origin 3 years ago. The Pathologic report represented that the mass was malignant adenocarcinoma. To confirm the origin of adenocarcinoma, we performed immunoperoxidase technique and the adenocarcinoma was originated from the prostate.
