Abstract

OBJECTIVES: We presented one case of prostatic adenocarcinoma of ductal origin, known as endometrial adenocarcinoma before. The first case was published in 1967 by Mellicow. Since then we could only recover 8 cases by spanish authors. METHODS/RESULTS: 61-year-old patient presenting with urethral bleeding, PSA 12 ng/cc, and an exophytic urethral mass. Histology was compatible with ductal adenocarcinoma of the cribiform type. Radical prostatectomy was carried out with good outcome at six months follow up. CONCLUSIONS: Prostatic ductal adenocarcinoma is a rare tumor, accounting for 0.2-5% of prostatic tumours. Its behaviour is variable, similar to the acinar cell type. Strikingly, there are scarce references to this tumor type; accordingly to the statistics of incidence it should have been referred more often, which would help to its study in terms of outcomes, treatment, and prognosis.

Salivary duct carcinoma with comedonecrosis in the mobile portion of the tongue.

We present a patient suffering from salivary duct carcinoma in the mobile portion of the tongue, arising from a minor salivary gland; this condition is extremely rare. The patient was a 64-year-old woman who presented with a nonpainful, hard mass in her tongue. An aspiration smear showed cells with very scant cytoplasm and pale oval nuclei containing small, single nucleoli. Scattered clusters of small cells had darkly stained nuclei. Neither necrosis nor cribriform areas were seen. The smears suggested a salivary gland neoplasm; however, definitive diagnosis of salivary duct carcinoma remained difficult. Partial glossectomy was performed with a wide margin. Macroscopic examination revealed an unencapsulated, submucosal tumour infiltrating underlying muscle. Microscopic examination revealed a salivary duct carcinoma with comedonecrosis and relatively few cribriform and papillary areas. This case suggests that it may not be easy to establish a definitive diagnosis of salivary duct carcinoma from an aspiration smear if the salivary duct carcinoma is composed of comedonecrosis surrounded by solid tissue in a noncribriform pattern.

[Surgical treatment of carcinoma of the pancreas].

Invasive ductal carcinoma of the pancreas (pancreatic cancer) is mainly treated by operative resection, radio-chemotherapy, or chemotherapy. The survival rate of the patients with each treatment is not good when compared with that in other cancers. Meanwhile, it is still true that surgical resection remains the only method offering pancreatic cancer patients long-term survival or cure. The indications for surgical resection should be considered based on whether margin-free resection can be achieved in individual patients. In addition, the volume of pancreatic cancer patients treated at the institution and the surgeon's personal experience may greatly affect the decision. A recent randomized clinical trial from Japan revealed that surgical resection has a survival advantage over chemo-radiation therapy for locally advanced pancreatic cancer, which is defined as stage IVa in the fourth Japanese edition of the Classification of Pancreatic Carcinoma. Moreover, guidelines for clinical practice for pancreatic cancer by the Japan Pancreas Society have been issued very recently. In addition, the surgical indications should be reevaluated in combination with the adjuvant or neoadjuvant chemotherapy in future.
