Primary Well-Differentiated Neuroendocrine Tumor/Carcinoid of the Prostate: Case Report and Review of Literature.

Primary well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumor (WDNT)/carcinoid of the genitourinary tract is rare. Many WDNT reported in the prostate gland have been seen in close association with conventional prostatic adenocarcinoma and/or label for prostate-specific immunohistochemical markers and are best considered prostatic adenocarcinomas with "carcinoid-like" features. We present a case of primary WDNT/carcinoid incidentally detected in a 67-year-old man who underwent radical prostatectomy for Grade group 2 prostatic adenocarcinoma. Morphologically, the neuroendocrine (NE) lesion appeared distinct from the prostatic adenocarcinoma, labeled for NE markers, was negative for prostatic markers (NKX3.1, PSA, and ERG), and showed an overall low Ki-67 proliferation index (<1%). Follow-up was uneventful with no evidence of residual disease or metastasis.
