A case of multilocular prostatic cystadenoma
Journal of Korean Medical Science
|November 12, 1998
Summary
A rare multilocular prostatic cystadenoma, a benign pelvic tumor, was surgically removed in a 43-year-old man. This prostate-derived lesion, confirmed by prostate specific antigen (PSA) staining, did not recur post-excision.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Surgical Pathology
- Oncology
Background:
- Multilocular prostatic cystadenoma is a rare, benign cystic tumor originating from the prostate.
- These tumors can grow to massive proportions and present as pelvic masses.
Observation:
- A 43-year-old man presented with a large, multiloculated cystic pelvic tumor attached to the prostate by a pedicle.
- Immunohistochemical staining confirmed prostatic-type epithelium expressing prostate specific antigen (PSA).
Findings:
- The tumor did not invade adjacent structures, consistent with previously reported cases.
- Complete surgical excision was curative, with no evidence of recurrence after treatment.
Implications:
- Multilocular prostatic cystadenoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of retroperitoneal cystic tumors in men.
- Complete surgical excision is an effective treatment for this benign entity.
