An Unusual Cystic Presentation of Ductal Carcinoma of the Prostate

A 74-year-old male came to our clinic for rectal tenesmus, lower urinary tract symptoms and a previous episode of acute retention of urine. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of abdomen showed a multiloculated, cystic formation of 12 cm in the pelvic cavity to the left, with compression of the prostate, bladder, sigmoid and rectum, and its extension imprinted the back of the pubis and back bladder. Saturation prostate biopsy was negative for carcinoma. The histology of transurethral resection of bladder formation revealed flogistic tissue. Cistoprostatectomy and ureteroileal pouch with Wallace anastomosis, removal of the rectum and colostomy with Hartmann pouch were performed. The histopatology showed a ductal carcinoma of the prostate.
