Urology. 1994 Mar;43(3):397-400. doi: 10.1016/0090-4295(94)90089-2.

Abstract

Primary signet ring cell adenocarcinoma of the prostate is a rare malignancy with a total of 13 cases reported to date in the English literature. We report a very unusual case of signet ring adenocarcinoma of the prostate occurring in a patient who presented initially with irritative voiding symptoms and a bladder mass. Results of immunohistochemical, flow cytometric, and cytogenetic analyses of the tumor are presented.
