Diagnosis in short

Prevalence very rare
Prognosis usually good

Adenoid cystic/basal cell carcinoma of the prostate, abbreviated ACBCC, is a rare from of prostate cancer that resembles adenoid cystic carcinoma and basal cell carcinoma.

It is also known as adenoid cystic carcinoma of the prostate.[1]
