A Rare Tumor: Small Cell Prostate Carcinoma Case Report
Journal Title: Üroonkoloji Bülteni - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 3
Abstract
Prostate small cell carcinoma is a rare and aggressive tumor. They can be distinguished from classic prostate adenocarcinoma by features such as lack of prostate-specific antigen secretion, failure to respond to androgen suppression therapy, osteolytic bone lesions, and visceral metastasis. Herein, we present a case of previously diagnosed prostate adenocarcinoma that transformed to prostate small cell carcinoma, together with a discussion of the current literature.
