'''Small cell carcinoma of the prostate gland''' is a rare type of [[prostate cancer]] with an aggressive course.
'''Small cell carcinoma of the prostate gland''' is a rare type of [[prostate cancer]] with an aggressive course.
The more general topic of ''[[prostate cancer with neuroendocrine differentiation]]'' is dealt with in a separate article.
