Abstract
- It is not atypical for a small amount of mucin to be present in prostate adenocarcinoma. But true mucinous type of adenocarcinoma of prostate occurs rarely, with 88 cases reported in the literature. This has been histopathologically defined as containing lakes of extracellular mucin comprising at least 25% of the primary prostate tumor. The biologic behavior of this malignancy is not well known and the prognosis is considered to be poor compared with typical adenocarcinoma of the prostate. We experienced a case of mucinous adenocarcinoma of prostate that was developed in a 70 year-old man.
