title: [Transitional carcinoma of the prostate].
abstract: Case report of prostate transitional carcinoma diagnosed by transurethral resection, an infrequent tumour with incidence ranging from 1% to 4% of all prostate neoplasias which appears in 2.8% of all radical cystoprostatectomies specimens carried out at the Mayo Clinic. Most commonly, when it appears in the prostate this tumour is simultaneous or subsequent to other transitional carcinoma arisen in other organs mostly the bladder. Very rarely it occurs as an early form within the ducts and even less often within the prostate acinus. Review of the neoplasia histology, signs and symptoms, diagnostic procedures and management, emphasising the aggressiveness of its behaviour (such as in our case report) when the prostate gland stroma is infiltrated by the tumour.
