Urothelial carcinoma-like prostatic carcinoma is a prostatic carcinoma that histologically mimics urothelial carcinoma.

It is not a formally recognized type of prostate cancer.

General

  • Uncommon.

Microscopic

Features:

  • Large epithelioid cells with prominent nucleoli.
  • +/-Papillary structures (pseudopapillae).[1]
  • +/-Features suggestive of prostatic carcinoma - cribriforming glands or poorly formed glandular structures.
