Mucinous adenocarcinoma of the prostate is an uncommon type of prostate cancer.
General
Gleason pattern:
- In the past, it has been suggested that the mucinous component be assigned Gleason pattern 4.[2]
- The prognosis is similar or may be better than the conventional type of prostate cancer in a large series;[1] thus, it seems reasonable to grade based on the pattern (as advocated by some experts[3]).
Microscopic
Features:
- Cytologically malignant cells floating in mucin.
- > 25% of tumour mucinous.[2]
Notes:
- Mucinous carcinoma - percentage required to call varies by site.
DDx:
- Metastatic mucinous carcinoma.
- Mucinous adenocarcinoma of the prostatic urethra - analogous to the mucinous adenocarcinoma of the urinary bladder.[5]
