Intraductal carcinoma of the prostate
Diagnosis in short

Intraductal carcinoma of prostate. H&E stain.
LM major criteria : glands 2x normal (peripheral zone) glands, basal cells present, "cytologically malignant cells" (nuclear hyperchromasia, nuclear enlargement, nucleoli), fills the lumen ("expansile") but does not have to be "solid", +/-comedonecrosis; minor criteria : branching of ducts at right angles, rounded/smooth gland outlines, two cell populations (malignant appearing at periphery of gland, benign appearing - centre of gland)
LM DDx invasive prostatic carcinoma, high grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia
IHC basal cells are present (CK34betaE12 +ve, p63 +ve)
Site prostate gland
Prevalence uncommon
Blood work PSA typically elevated
Prognosis poor, strongly suggestive invasion if not present

Intraductal carcinoma of the prostate, abbreviated IDC-P, is a proliferation of malignant prostate cells within glands that have an intact basal cell layer.

It should not be confused with ductal adenocarcinoma of the prostate gland.

General

  • May represent a precursor to invasive prostate carcinoma.[1]
  • Associated with a poor prognosis.[2]
  • Strong association with aggressive invasive carcinomas on prostatectomy when identified in isolation on biopsy.[3]
  • High interobserver variability among experts ~43% agreement.[4]
    • For comparison: HGPIN ~70% agreement, invasive carcinoma ~73% agreement.
  • Uncommon finding ~ 3% of cases in a series of 1176 prostate biopsies.[5]

Microscopic

Epstein criteria

Epstein's IDCP criteria:[6]

  • "Large" acini or ducts with basal cells and one of the following:
  1. Solid growth pattern or "dense" cribriform pattern.
  2. Micropapillary pattern or "loose" cribriform pattern with one of the following:
    1. Marked atypia 6x normal (area).‡
    2. Non-focal comedonecrosis.

Notes:

  • ‡ Epstein's paper does not explicitly state that it is the area; however, there is near consensus in an ENUP survey that this is the case.[7] The equivalent diameter multiplier is sqrt(6) ~ 2.45; 6x area ~= 2.45x diameter.

Zhou criteria

Major criteria

Required major criteria:[8][9]

  1. Glands 2x normal (peripheral zone) glands.
  2. Basal cells present (proven by IHC).
  3. "Cytologically malignant cells" = nuclear hyperchromasia, nuclear enlargement, nucleoli.
  4. Fills the lumen ("expansile") but does not have to be "solid".
    • Solid = no spaces between the cells.

Additional (major) criterion:[8]

Minor criteria

Minor criteria:[8]

  1. Branching of ducts at right angles.
  2. Rounded/smooth gland outlines.
  3. Two cell populations:
    • Malignant population (enlarged nuclei with hyperchromasia and nucleoli) = peripheral location in gland.
    • Benign population (smaller nuclei, no nucleoli) = central location in gland.
