Intraductal carcinoma of the prostate
Diagnosis in short

Intraductal carcinoma of prostate. H&E stain.
LM see microscopic section
LM DDx invasive prostatic carcinoma, high grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia
IHC basal cells are present (CK34betaE12 +ve, p63 +ve)
Molecular +/-BRCA2 mutation
Site prostate gland
Prevalence uncommon
Blood work PSA typically elevated
Prognosis poor, strongly suggestive invasion if not present

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

It should not be confused with ductal adenocarcinoma of the prostate gland.

General

  • May represent a precursor to invasive prostate carcinoma.[1]
  • Associated with a poor prognosis.[2]
  • Strong association with aggressive invasive carcinomas on prostatectomy when identified in isolation on biopsy.[3]
  • High interobserver variability among experts ~43% agreement.[4]
    • For comparison: HGPIN ~70% agreement, invasive carcinoma ~73% agreement.
  • Uncommon finding ~ 3% of cases in a series of 1176 prostate biopsies.[5]

Prevalence

Prevalence varies by risk/stage - based on a systematic review by Porter et al.:[6]

Group Prevalence
WHO1 † 2%
WHO2 † or WHO3 † 23%
WHO4 † or WHO5 † 37%
Metastasis or biochemical recurrence 56%

† WHO1 = WHO grade group 1 (Gleason score 6), WHO2 = WHO grade group 2 or 3 (Gleason score 7 (3+4 or 4+3), WHO3 = WHO grade group 4 or 5 (Gleason score 8, 9 or 10)

Microscopic

Epstein criteria

Epstein's IDCP criteria:[7]

  • "Large" acini or ducts with basal cells and one of the following:
  1. Solid growth pattern or "dense" cribriform pattern.
  2. Micropapillary pattern or "loose" cribriform pattern with one of the following:
    1. Marked atypia 6x normal (area).‡
    2. Non-focal comedonecrosis.

Notes:

  • † "Dense" is defined as "more solid than luminal areas"; >50% of the lesion area is cells, as opposed to empty space.
  • ‡ Epstein's paper does not explicitly state that it is the area; however, there is near consensus in an ENUP survey that this is the case.[8] The equivalent diameter multiplier is sqrt(6) ~ 2.45; 6x area ~= 2.45x diameter.

Zhou criteria

Major criteria

Required major criteria:[9][10]

  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:[9]

Minor criteria

Minor criteria:[9]

  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.

Note:

  • BRCA1 associated prostate cancer seems to be less common/less studied.[12]
