{{Main|Ductal adenocarcinoma of the prostate gland}}

===Microscopic===
Features:<ref name=Ref_GUP88>{{Ref GUP|88}}</ref>
#Pseudostratified (crowded appearing) columnar (or cigar-shaped) nuclei - '''key feature'''.
#*Vaguely resembles [[colonic adenocarcinoma]].
#Compatible architecture:
#*Papillary.
#*Cribriform.
#*Single gland (large glands).
#*Endometrioid - vaguely looks like [[endometrioid endometrial carcinoma]] (with back-to-back glands).
#>= 50% of tumour.<ref name=pmid21383610/> ‡‡
#*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.<ref name=pmid21383610>{{Cite journal  | last1 = Amin | first1 = A. | last2 = Epstein | first2 = JI. | title = Pathologic stage of prostatic ductal adenocarcinoma at radical prostatectomy: effect of percentage of the ductal component and associated grade of acinar adenocarcinoma. | journal = Am J Surg Pathol | volume = 35 | issue = 4 | pages = 615-9 | month = Apr | year = 2011 | doi = 10.1097/PAS.0b013e31820eb25b | PMID = 21383610 }}</ref>
*‡‡ ''Mahul Amin'' advocates that >=80% should be ductal morphology to call ''ductal adenocarcinoma''.<ref>{{Ref Amin|3-102}}</ref>
