Prostatic adenosquamous carcinoma - A rare case report

Carcinoma of the prostate gland is the most common malignant tumor affecting adult males. Adenosqamous carcinoma of the prostate is a much more unusual histological variant of prostate cancer characterized by coexistence of malignant glandular and squamous elements. The prognosis for patients with Adenosqamous carcinoma of the prostate is very poor, even in those patients with localized disease who subsequently underwent prostatectomy, suggesting this is a disease with a propensity for early microscopic dissemination.
