SENARRIAGA RUIZ DE LA ILLA, Nerea et al. Prostatic utricle ductal carcinoma: Case report and bibliographic review. Arch. Esp. Urol. [online]. 2008, vol.61, n.5, pp.637-640. ISSN 0004-0614.

Objective: A case of ductal carcinoma of the prostatic utricle is described, previously known as endometrial carcinoma, and literature is reviewed. Methods: 75 years old patient who consults for lower urinary tract obstructive symptoms, with a PSA of 8.1 ng/ml., without more symptoms. Digital rectal examination and ultrasound showed a small and stony prostate. Deobstructive transurethral resection of the prostate was performed and the biopsy revealed ductal carcinoma of the utricle. Results: Nine years after diagnosis signs of dissemination are not present. Conclusions: As incidental finding in the biopsy, ductal carcinoma of the utricle is a rare tumor, the incidence of which among all prostatic carcinomas has been cited as 0.2 - 0.8%. We report a review about this topic for improving its knowledge. Symptoms, pathological findings and treatment of this carcinoma have been reviewed.
