Abstract

The foamy gland variant (FGV) of prostatic acinar adenocarcinoma was first described by Nelson and Epstein (1) in 1996. Abundant xanthomatous cytoplasm with picnotic nuclei is characteristic for this variant. The FGV is uncommon but its incidence is not clear on transurethral resection materials (2). The age range of affected patients with foamy gland carcinoma does not differ from that of those with the usual prostatic adenocarcinoma.
