Case 1 67 year old male presented with gross hematuria H/o acute prostatitis & BPH Urethroscopy: small, polypoid growth with a broad base emanating from the left side of the verumontanum Serum PSA :7 ng/ml A biopsy of the lesion was performed
PSA HMCK, p63, Racemase HMCK, p63, Racemase
Case 1 - Diagnosis: Verumontanum, biopsy: Atypical papillary intraductal proliferation of the prostatic epithelium, highly suspicious for adenocarcinoma of prostate with ductal features Follow up: 72 months NED; post re-turp and peripheral zone bxs Questions Posed by Case Current status of prostatic ductal carcinoma Does it exist? What are the diagnostic criteria? What is the clinico-pathologic significance? Reporting guidelines Approach to atypical intraductal proliferations (exceeding those of HGPIN) What Is a Prostatic Duct? The ducts and acini are morphologically identical except for their geometry The duct acinar system functions as distensible secretory reservoirs Each is lined by: secretory cells - PSA, PSAP positive basal cells - 34BE12 positive Difficult to distinguish between ducts and acini except sections cut along the ductal long axis
Prostatic Ductal Carcinoma Ducts of Prostate Originate at urethra, terminate at the capsule or anterior FM stroma Lining: Urothelium Vicinity of urethra for variable distance Columnar secretory epithelium Rest of the entire duct-acinar system Carcinomas involving prostate ducts Prostatic ductal (endometroid) carcinoma Transitional cell carcinoma involving prostatic ducts and acini

PROSTATIC DUCTAL CARCINOMA Clinical: Central: exophytic papillary growth in urethra present earlier with obstruction, hematuria frequently seen in TURP specimens Diffuse: wide-spread involvement of prostate gland abnormal DRE or elevated PSA

Approach for Atypical Intraductal Lesions of the Prostate Exceeding HGPIN In needle biopsy In TURP Intraductal growth in R. Prostatectomy McNeal,Yemoto (1996) Frequent EPE, LN involvement, PSA recurrence Rubin et al (1998) Higher tumor volume, independent predictor of prognosis Wilcox et al (1998) Higher Gleason score, tumor volume, SV involvement and disease progression Dawkins et al (2000) Greater allelic instability compared to accompanying PIN and cancer Samaratunga et al (2010) Any proportion predicts EPE Atypical intraductal proliferation without invasive adenocarcinoma Intraductal carcinoma of prostate- IDC-P Guo, Epstein, 2006: 21 cases with FU: 6 treated with RP, 7 with radiation, 5 with hormones, 1 with hormone and radiation and 2 with waitful watching 6 cases with RP: Gleason score 8 or 9, EPE in 5/6 cases, vascular-lymphatic invasion in 2/6 cases 3/16 cases without RP: developed bone metastasis Recommendation by authors: patients with IDCP on biopsy should be considered for aggressive treatment even in the absence of documented invasive cancer
Terminology: IDC-P Caution: Distinction between HGPIN and IDC-P is not always clear cut Designation as HGPIN may lead to under-management Overcall of multifocal HGPIN as IDC-P may prompt more aggressive management than required Recommended Terminology Atypical Large Glandular Proliferation- cannot rule out IDC-P Presence of basal cell layer by light microscopy & / or IHC (HMCK +/-, p63 +/-, racemase +) Atypical large glandular lesions (exceeding HGPIN) that have an exclusive intraductal growth or Architecture not sufficiently complex to designate as ductal carcinoma Ductal or IDC-P Presenting as Urethral Polyps Small lesions presenting as urethral polyps Distinct from obvious carcinomas presenting in TURP due to obstruction Samaratunga and Letizia, (2007) 8 cases, all with some component of intraductal growth- 3 cases had ductal carcinoma and 5 had acinar carcinoma in other specimens Bland cytology in 5 cases- misdiagnosis as benign lesion
Intraductal Lesions Presenting as Urethral Polyps: Personal experience 9 cases Lesion size: 0.2 to 0.7 cm Intraductal growth: 100% Invasive growth: 0% Approach: Repeat TURP Multiple peripheral zone biopsies Follow up: 2 cases NED (12 & 72 mos) FU on more cases being obtained Differential Diagnosis Acinar carcinoma secondarily involving prostate Urothelial carcinoma involving prostatic ducts and acini Villous adenoma of prostatic urethra and/or surface of metastatic colonic carcinoma Nephrogenic adenoma/ metaplasia
