title: [Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the prostate].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To report a new case of adenoid cystic carcinoma of the prostate.
  
  
  METHODS
  We evaluated clinical presentation, diagnosis, treatment and evolution of a 68-year-old patient with an adenoid cystic carcinoma of the prostate.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The patient did not receive any of the treatments suggested by our department, having a favourable outcome for 28 months; after this period he presented abdominal metastases which where surgically excised. Adjuvant radiotherapy was indicated.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The adenoid cystic carcinoma is a rare tumor. The treatment of choice of these patients is radical prostatectomy and close follow-up.
