title: [A case of mucinous adenocarcinoma of the prostate].
abstract: We experienced a case of mucin producing prostate carcinoma, which occurred 46-year-old male patient. Serum tumor markers of prostate carcinoma were all in normal levels, and physical findings were similar to those of benign prostate hypertrophy. Histopathological study showed poorly differentiated mucinous adenocarcinoma occupying more than 30% of specimen. In literatures there seemed two types of mucin producing prostate carcinoma, the one is different from usual prostate carcinoma as our case and the other is a subtype of usual one, and so it was suggested that we must respect to this point on diagnosis and therapy of it.
