Abstract Intraductal carcinoma of the prostate (IDC-P) gland represents an intraluminal neoplastic proliferation that is distinct from high-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (HG-PIN) and almost always coexists with large-volume, high-stage, and high-grade invasive carcinoma. We document an unusual presentation of apparently “early” IDC-P without an aggressive invasive element that, despite being confined to the acinar-ductal system, has gained access to the ejaculatory duct and seminal vesicle by transmucosal spread. This finding confirms that IDC-P, in contrast to HG-PIN, is inherently aggressive and has the ability to spread beyond the prostate gland. In this case, the absence of an aggressive invasive element suggests that IDC-P has most likely evolved within the lumens directly from HG-PIN.

Abstract We report the clinical and pathologic features of 2 cases of pleomorphic giant cell carcinoma of the prostate. One case was found at autopsy in a 77-year-old man and was composed of high-grade prostatic adenocarcinoma with prominent anaplastic giant cells. The patient presented with metastases to multiple retroperitoneal lymph nodes, liver, and lumbar vertebrae. The second case occurred in a 45-year-old man who underwent transurethral resection of the prostate and was found to have high-grade prostatic adenocarcinoma with an extensive anaplastic giant cell component. The patient presented with distant metastases and died within 9 months. Both regular adenocarcinoma and anaplastic giant tumor cells displayed cytoplasmic immunoreactivity for prostate-specific antigen, prostatic acid phosphatase, and keratin AE1/AE3; in one case, scattered cells were also positive for chromogranin and epithelial membrane antigen. Pleomorphic giant cell carcinoma is a rare variant of prostatic adenocarcinoma with a poor prognosis that should be considered in the differential diagnosis of prostatic pleomorphic tumors.
