Basal cell carcinoma of the prostate gland: a case report and brief review of the basal cell proliferations of the prostate gland.
2010
Abstract Basal cell proliferations within the prostate gland encompass a group of benign and malignant entities. Although basal cell hyperplasia is a common finding, basal cell carcinoma of the prostate gland is a rare tumor that can be mistaken by a benign condition and represents a diagnostic problem in genitourinary pathology. We report a case of basal cell carcinoma in a previously healthy 65-year-old man with urinary symptoms and low prostate-specific antigen. The microscopic findings are presented and the use of immunohistochemical markers classifying basal cell lesions of the prostate discussed.
