title: [Pure primary prostate transitional cell carcinoma. A review of our series].
abstract: Primary prostate transitional cell carcinoma is a very uncommon tumor, that represents about 1% of all prostate tumours. In our institution, only six patients have been diagnosed with pure transitional cell prostate carcinoma until 2002. Bladder origin of the neplasic was ruled out in all cases. We report a study about the progression and survival of prostate transitional cell carcinoma. These prostatic tumours carry a poor prognostic (median survival is 4.6 months) with a strong tendency to metastatic spread. Therefore, we suggest a radical prostatectomy (without cystectomy) when it rules out bladder origin tumour.
