RESUMO
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.

Objetivo: Se presenta un caso de adenocarcinoma ductal prostático, anteriormente conocido como carcinoma endometrioide y se revisa la literatura. Métodos: Paciente de 75 años que acude a la consulta por sintomatología de obstrucción urinaria, PSA de 8,1 ng/ml., sin otra clínica acompañante. El tacto rectal y la ecografía abdominopélvica evidencian una próstata pequeña y pétrea. Se realiza resección transuretral desobstructiva y la anatomía patológica revela carcinoma ductal del utrículo prostático. Resultados: A los 9 años del diagnóstico no presenta signos de diseminación. Conclusiones: De hallazgo casual en el estudio anatomo-patológico, el adenocarcinoma ductal del utrículo prostático es una rara neoformación, cuya incidencia entre todos los carcinomas prostáticos ha sido citada entre 0,2-0,8%, si bien resulta interesante hacer una revisión sobre el tema para fomentar su estudio. Se revisan la clínica, diagnóstico y tratamiento de dicho carcinoma (AU)
