Abstract
|
|
|
We recently experienced a 43-year-old man with a large, multiloculated, cystic tumor that appeared on the
pelvis. The tumor was composed of glands and cysts lined by prostatic-type epithelium and attached
microscopically to the prostate by a pedicle. The prostatic nature of the lesions was confirmed by
immunohistochemical staining of epithelium for prostate specific antigen (PSA). Our review of literature
disclosed nine similar cases in men of various ages, originated from the prostate and grew to massive
proportions. The lesions in these reported cases did not invade contiguous structures but they can adhere
to viscera in their proximity. The multilocular prostatic cystadenoma is a pathologically benign entity,
and they can be definitively treated by a carefully planned complete surgical excision. This lesion should
be included in the differential diagnosis of retroperitoneal cystic tumors in man. We report a rare case of
multilocular prostatic cystadenoma that did not invade adjacent organs and showed no evidence of recurrence
after complete surgical excision.
