Ductal adenocarcinoma of the prostate gland, also prostatic ductal adenocarcinoma, is relatively common variant of prostate cancer.

It is also known as prostatic adenocarcinoma, large duct type.

General

  • Sometimes it is referred to as endometrioid or endometrial adenocarcinoma; both terms are discouraged.[1]
  • In older literature it is referred to as papillary adenocarcinoma of the prostate.[2][3]
  • Not completely uncontroversial - may represent acinar adenocarcinoma with periurethral ducts involvement.[4]
  • More aggressive than conventional (acinar) prostate carcinoma.

Microscopic

Features:[5]

  1. Pseudostratified (crowded appearing) columnar (or cigar-shaped) nuclei - key feature.
  2. Compatible architecture:
  3. >= 50% of tumour.[6] ‡‡
    • If ductal component <50%, it is a conventional (acinar) adenocarcinoma with a ductal component.

Notes:

  • Proportion of ductal component should be quantified:
    • <10% ductal component of no prognostic significance.[6]
  • ‡‡ Mahul Amin advocates that >=80% should be ductal morphology to call ductal adenocarcinoma.[7]

IHC

Features:[8]

  • p53 +ve in ~ 75% of cases.
  • Ki-67 high in ~ 70% of cases.
  • Chromogranin A +ve (cytoplasm) in ~ 70% of cases.

Others:[9]

  • PSA +ve.
