SMALL CELL CARCINOMA OF THE PROSTATE: CLINICAL AND MORPHOLOGICAL ASPECTS
https://doi.org/10.17650/1726-9776-2012-8-3-77-81
Abstract
Small cell carcinoma of the prostate is a rare and very aggressive tumor. Primary emphasis is laid on the morphological and immunohistochemical characteristics of this type of a tumor, the clinical presentations of the disease, performed treatment, and its response. Three clinical cases of small cell carcinoma of the prostate with their further discussion are described.
