Conventional prostatic adenocarcinoma arising in a multilocular prostatic cystadenoma

Pathol Int. 2010 May;60(5):413-6. doi: 10.1111/j.1440-1827.2010.02536.x.

Abstract

Multilocular prostatic cystadenoma is a rare benign neoplasm located between the bladder and the rectum. These are prostatic tissue and have been shown to harbor high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia and likely susceptible to the same disease processes seen in the prostate gland. We report the first case of conventional prostatic adenocarcinoma involving a multilocular cystadenoma. Distinction from cystadenocarcinoma is also made.
