[Primary mucinous adenocarcinoma of the prostate]

Contribution of a new case of prostatic mucinous adenocarcinoma of primary origin. Diagnosis was established by histochemical techniques alcian blue, PAS and alcian-PAS) processing the fragments from the prostate transurethral resection (PTUR). Neither the existence of extraprostatic tumoration, local infiltration, or metastasis was recognized. No correlation between preoperative prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP) (50) and prostatic specific antigen (PSA) values (3ng/m) was evidenced. After radical prostatectomy both markers remain undetected one year after surgery.
