===General===
{{Main|Mucinous adenocarcinoma of the prostate}}
*Rare.
*Most often Gleason 3+4 ~ 80% in one series of 47 cases.<ref name=pmid18300802>{{Cite journal  | last1 = Osunkoya | first1 = AO. | last2 = Nielsen | first2 = ME. | last3 = Epstein | first3 = JI. | title = Prognosis of mucinous adenocarcinoma of the prostate treated by radical prostatectomy: a study of 47 cases. | journal = Am J Surg Pathol | volume = 32 | issue = 3 | pages = 468-72 | month = Mar | year = 2008 | doi = 10.1097/PAS.0b013e3181589f72 | PMID = 18300802 }}</ref>
 
Gleason pattern:
*In the past, it has been suggested that the mucinous component be assigned ''Gleason pattern 4''.<ref name=pmid14976541>{{cite journal |author=Grignon DJ |title=Unusual subtypes of prostate cancer |journal=Mod. Pathol. |volume=17 |issue=3 |pages=316–27 |year=2004 |month=March |pmid=14976541 |doi=10.1038/modpathol.3800052 |url=}}</ref>
*The prognosis is similar or may be better than the conventional type of prostate cancer in a large series;<ref name=pmid18300802/> thus, it seems reasonable to grade based on the pattern (as advocated by some experts<ref name=pmid18487999>{{Cite journal  | last1 = Osunkoya | first1 = AO. | last2 = Adsay | first2 = NV. | last3 = Cohen | first3 = C. | last4 = Epstein | first4 = JI. | last5 = Smith | first5 = SL. | title = MUC2 expression in primary mucinous and nonmucinous adenocarcinoma of the prostate: an analysis of 50 cases on radical prostatectomy. | journal = Mod Pathol | volume = 21 | issue = 7 | pages = 789-94 | month = Jul | year = 2008 | doi = 10.1038/modpathol.2008.47 | PMID = 18487999 }}</ref>).
 
===Microscopic===
Features:
*Cytologically malignant cells floating in mucin.

Notes:
*[[Mucinous carcinoma]] - percentage required to call varies by site.
 
DDx:
*Metastatic [[mucinous carcinoma]].
*Mucinous adenocarcinoma of the prostatic urethra - analogous to the mucinous adenocarcinoma of the [[urinary bladder]].<ref name=pmid23060063/>
