Abstract

We present a case of primary adenocarcinoma of the prostate with mucinous feature. Mucinous adenocarcinoma (MC) of the pros¬tate gland is rare morphological variant of Prostate carcinoma characterized by pools of extracellular mucin in >25% of tumor. A 72-year-old male presented to our hospital with urinary frequency, nocturia and voiding difculties;on digital rectal examination enlarged prostate was observed without any palpable nodule. on Ultrasonography hypoechoic lesion was observed in left lobe of prostate suggestive of prostate tumor. A transurethral resection of prostate conrmed the diagnosis of Prostatic adenocarcinoma with mucinous features and Gleasons score 9(4+5). We report the cases due to the aggressive beahviour and uncommon diagnosis of mucinous variant of adenocarcinoma of the prostate. But it is seen that its proper diagnosis and treatment signicantly contribute to favourable prognosis.
