Prostate mucinous adenocarcinoma with signet ring cell.

Prostate mucinous adenocarcinoma with signet ring cell is a rare neoplasm with only 11 cases reported to date. We present the 12th case of prostate mucinous adenocarcinoma with signet ring cell. The case was detected incidentally as a result of a biopsy taken from a lesion in the prostatic urethra during a urethrocystoscopy of a 47-year-old male patient who underwent an internal urethrotomy operation due to urethrostenosis. Endoscopic examination showed a loose, spongy, gray-white structure covering the prostatic urethra, especially the right lobe of the prostate. The diagnosis resulting from the pathological examination of the biopsy was prostate mucinous adenocarcinoma with signet ring cell. A total of 50 Gy radiotherapy was applied to the patient. In the 27th month of follow-up after treatment, thoracoabdominal computed tomography, bone scintigraphy, and tumor markers (PSA, CEA and CA19-9) were found to be normal.
