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

General

  • Associated with a poor prognosis.[1]
  • Strong association with aggressive invasive carcinomas on prostatectomy when identified in isolation on biopsy.[2]
  • High interobserver variability among experts ~43% agreement.[3]
    • For comparison: HGPIN ~70% agreement, invasive carcinoma ~73% agreement.

Microscopic

Major criteria

Required major criteria:[4][5]

  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:[4]

Minor criteria

Minor criteria:[4]

  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.

IHC

Features - basal cells present:

  • CK34betaE12 +ve.
  • p63 +ve.
