A 74-year-old man initially presenting with fall had an incidental finding on CT of a heterogeneous, partly cystic lesion in the pelvis that was moderately glucose avid FDG-PET. The pelvic mass and adherent right seminal vesicle were excised. On microscopy, comprised benign prostatic acini supported by fibromuscular stroma to normal vesicle. tissue stained positive for NKX3.1 PSMA. PIN4 showed ...

Adenocarcinoma arising in urinary bladder or prostatic urethra is uncommon. When they occur, the tumor can be mistaken for metastatic lesions, especially from the colon. Here we report the fifth case of a primary urothelial-type adenocarcinoma arising in the prostate which showed enteric differentiation. The patient was a 55 year-old male whose prostatic needle core biopsy showed a high grade a...

The present study reports the novel case of an 81-year-old male with prostatic adenocarcinoma (PAC), whose histopathological study revealed a pure urothelial carcinoma (UC) that originated, however, from the prostatic glandular epithelium. The levels of serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) were extraordinarily high in this patient. An MRI scan indicated a prostatic neoplasm and no malignant ch...

I denna avhandling studeras prostatacancerns naturalförlopp och värdet av befi ntliga prognostiska faktorer. Man studerar också några nya tänkbara prognostiska faktorer. Dessutom tittar man på tids trender för prostata tumörer som är upptäckta incidentalt vid två olika typer av operationer, som görs vid vattenkastningsbesvär. Avhandlingen bygger på två unika prostata cancer material som samlats...

lack of prostate specificity and intercellular localiza-tion of its gene product make this gene a poor serum biomarker. FN1 (fibronectin 1) and VEGF (vascular endo-thelial growth factor) are associated with prostate cancer and encode secreted proteins; however, these genes lack prostate-specific tissue specificity (15–18). The lack of prostate tissue specificity in the expression of these 2 gen...
