Ductal adenocarcinoma of the prostate gland
Diagnosis in short

Ductal adenocarcinoma of prostate. H&E stain. (WC)
Synonyms prostatic ductal adenocarcinoma, endometrioid adenocarcinoma (use discouraged), papillary adenocarcinoma of prostate (old term)
Subtypes (subtype of prostate carcinoma)
LM DDx acinar adenocarcinoma of prostate, prostatic-type polyp, adenocarcinoma of the urinary bladder, metastatic adenocarcinoma
IHC chromogranin A +ve, p53 +ve, PSA +ve
Grossing notes prostate biopsy, prostate chips, radical prostatectomy
Staging prostate cancer staging
Site prostate gland - esp. central zone, see prostate cancer
Prevalence uncommon - though considered most common non-acinar prostate carcinoma
Prognosis poor

Ductal adenocarcinoma of the prostate gland, also prostatic ductal adenocarcinoma, is relatively common variant of prostate cancer.

It is also known as prostatic adenocarcinoma, large duct type.

It should not be confused with intraductal carcinoma of the prostate gland.

General

  • Sometimes it is referred to as endometrioid or endometrial adenocarcinoma; both terms are discouraged.[1]
  • In older literature it is referred to as papillary adenocarcinoma of the prostate.[2][3]
  • Not completely uncontroversial - may represent acinar adenocarcinoma with periurethral ducts involvement.[4]
  • More aggressive than conventional (acinar) prostate carcinoma.

Microscopic

Features:[5]

  1. Pseudostratified (crowded appearing) columnar (or cigar-shaped) nuclei - key feature.
  2. Compatible architecture:
  3. >= 50% of tumour.[6] ‡‡
    • 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.[6]
  • ‡‡ Mahul Amin advocates that >=80% should be ductal morphology to call ductal adenocarcinoma.[7]

Features:[8]

  • p53 +ve in ~ 75% of cases.

Comment about small amount of ductal adenocarcinoma

A small amount of ductal-type adenocarcinoma of the prostate is seen; it represents approximately 5% of the tumour by volume and is of no particular prognostic significance. As the volume of the ductal-type adenocarcinoma is small, the case is classified as acinar adenocarcinoma.
