Carcinoma of the Prostate with Atypical Immunohistological Features: Clinical and Histologic Correlates

In seven patients with undifferentiated carcinoma of the prostate, the immunohistochemical stain for prostatespecific antigen was negative. The stain for prostatic acid phosphatase done on the same tissue samples was diffusely positive in three, focally positive in three, and negative in one. Only the three with diffusely positive immunostaining had elevated serum acid phosphatase levels, although five had evidence of metastatic disease. All seven neoplasms were histologically similar, being composed of large cells with large nuclei, a moderate amount of cytoplasm, and indistinct cell borders. All tumors grew as broad sheets within the prostatic stroma as well as in the prostatic urethra; in six cases. Thus, prostatic carcinoma with this histologic pattern frequently loses prostate- specific antigen immunoreactivity. Awareness of this occurrence should prevent a misdiagnosis of urothelial carcinoma in such cases. The prostatic origin of these neoplasms can usually be verified by prostatic acid phosphatase immunostaining, which proves to be more sensitive in this particular setting.
