[Prostatic utricle ductal carcinoma. Case report and bibliographic review].
OBJECTIVE
A case of ductal carcinoma of the prostatic utricle is described, previously known as endometrial carcinoma, and literature is reviewed.


METHODS
75-years-old patient who consults for lower urinary tract obstructive symptoms, with a PSA of 8.1 ng/ml., without more symptoms. Digital rectal examination and ultrasound showed a small and stony prostate. Deobstructive transurethral resection of the prostate was performed and the biopsy revealed ductal carcinoma of the utricle.


RESULTS
Nine years after diagnosis signs of dissemination are not present.


CONCLUSIONS
As incidental finding in the biopsy, ductal carcinoma of the utricle is a rare tumor, the incidence of which among all prostatic carcinomas has been cited as 0.2-0.8%. We report a review about this topic for improving its knowledge. Symptoms, pathological findings and treatment of this carcinoma have been reviewed.
