Ductal Adenocarcinoma of Prostate / 대한비뇨기과학회지

ABSTRACT

A ductal adenocarcinoma of prostate is a rare entity of a prostate carcinoma, originating from the epithelial lining of the primary and secondary ducts of the prostate. Although there have been about 100 reports of a ductal adenocarcinoma of the prostate in the English literature, this is the first case report described in Korea. Ductal adenocarcinomas of the prostate are often clinically underestimated as rectal examinations and the serum prostate specific antigen levels may be normal. We experienced a case of a ductal adenocarcinoma of the prostate in a 78 year-old man.
