Neuroendocrine differentiation in prostatic carcinomas generally confers a more aggressive clinical behavior and less favorable prognosis than usual prostatic carcinomas. In this manuscript, we report a case of a 58-year-old man with prostatic carcinoma who died 1 year after initial diagnosis. Autopsy showed a disseminated prostatic carcinoma with neuroendocrine differentiation. There were metastasis to the spleen, an organ infrequently involved by disseminated epithelial neoplasms. Neuroendocrine differentiation was demonstrated by immunohistochemical studies in the biopsy and autopsy material.

Introduction. Mixed adenocarcinoma-neuroendocrine cancer (MANEC) is a rare cancer that is characterized by aggressive course and poor prognosis. Aim. A case report and literature review.

This article presents the case of a 63-year-old patient who was hospitalized due to the occurrence of neurological symptoms such as nausea, dizziness and headache as well as double vision and numbness of the hands. Suspected ischemic stroke, meningitis with bacterial etiology or brainstem pathology. Conclusion. MANEC composed of large neuroendocrine cells have better survival and clinical behavior than patients with small, intermediate or mixed large and intermediate cells.
