title: Ductal adenocarcinoma of the prostate forming a mass in the retrovesical space.
abstract: Ductal adenocarcinoma of the prostate is a rare histologic variant of prostate cancer that often presents with normal prostate-specific antigen levels and is inherently aggressive enough to spread beyond the prostate gland. Here, we describe a case of prostatic ductal adenocarcinoma that formed a mass in the retrovesical space and presented with a high prostate-specific antigen level.
