A Rare Variant of Prostate Cancer in a Young Adult Male of Asian Origin
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Prostatic cancer is a disease seen commonly in elderly males. Small cell carcinoma of prostate is a rare variant and its occurrence in young men is extremely rare. This aggressive malignancy may develop in previously diagnosed prostatic adenocarcinoma or as a recurrence after surgery or radiotherapy. Thus, it poses a diagnostic dilemma at the time of presentation and even if diagnosed, limits the management in view of rapid loco-regional and systemic spread. This is case report exemplifies one such unusual occurrence and the challenges confronted in small cell carcinoma of prostate in a young adult. The prognosis remains poor as the treatment is yet not standardized. Chemotherapy may have some role in the management.
