Basal Cell Carcinoma of the Prostate: Case Reports Including an Unusual Presentation
Journal Title: International Journal of Surgery & Surgical Techniques - Year 2023, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
Basal cell carcinoma of the prostate is a rare tumor subtype arising from the prostatic basal cells and follows a variable clinical course. We describe two cases of patients with basal cell carcinoma of the prostate treated at our center. One case involves a patient with prior radiation with brachytherapy for prostatic adenocarcinoma, who subsequently developed a locally aggressive and invasive basal cell carcinoma of the prostate that eventually required pelvic exenteration. To our knowledge, we are the first to describe a case of basal cell carcinoma of the prostate in a patient with prior radiation with brachytherapy for prostatic adenocarcinoma.
