Prostatic duct carcinoma: exfoliative cytology.
The cytologic findings in voided urine specimens from prostatic duct carcinoma are presented. Neoplastic cells from these unusual tumors were identified as well as the occasional red blood cell and histiocyte. The adenocarcinoma cells features irregular nuclei and their cytoplasm was occupied almost entirely by large secretory vacuoles. The differential diagnosis of this tumor from some other neoplasms and its association with transitional cell carcinoma as well as its histogenesis are discussed.
