Abstract
We report a case of primary signet ring cell adenocarcinoma of the prostate gland in a 76-year-old man. Radical prostatectomy was performed 4 months after bilateral orchiectomy, which proved to be a successful preoperative androgen deprivation therapy. To date 3 years have passed with no clinical or serologic evidence of recurrent disease. Immunohistochemical testing showed the cancer tissue to be positive for prostate specific antigen and negative for carcinoembryonic antigen. This is the first reported case of primary prostate signet ring cell adenocarcinoma treated by radical prostatectomy, and this mode of therapy should be considered as a treatment of choice for the disease.
