Prostatic neuroendocrine tumor in multiple endocrine neoplasia Type 2B

Abstract: We report the unusual occurrence of a neuroendocrine prostatic tumor in two young males with multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) 2B. Immunohistochemistry of the tumor markers may help differentiate a primary neuroendocrine prostate tumor from the metastasis of a medullary thyroid carcinoma of poor prognosis. MEN 2B hallmarks (i.e. plasma thyrocalcitonin and urinary metanephrines) may be systematically investigated in neuroendocrine tumors of the prostate, and conversely prostate examination may be performed in … Show more

“…38,39 The remaining 3 cases were in even younger male individuals with multiple endocrine neoplasia IIB syndrome. 40,41 Patients were 7, 19, and 22 years of age. Although the data are limited, prostatic carcinoids tend to present with locally advanced disease, including some with regional lymph node metastases, yet still have a favorable prognosis.…”

“…46,47 Furthermore, cellular aggregates with variably interspersed eosinophilic NE granules, that is, Paneth cell-like change, may also convey an impression of carcinoid tumor 2 (Figures 2c-f). A careful read of the literature shows that outside those occurring in young patients with multiple endocrine neoplasia syndromes, 48,49 nearly all "prostatic carcinoids" are actually PCa with "carcinoid-like" morphologic features 50,51 and in fact, most of these cases exhibit PSA and NE marker labeling, as well as admixed usual acinar adenocarcinoma. To be labeled a true prostatic carcinoid-akin to the well-differentiated NE tumors in other organs 17 -tumors must exhibit typical carcinoid architecture and cytology, PSA negativity and absence of admixed adenocarcinoma.…”

“…Thyroid medullary carcinomas accompany these syndromes [13,14]. In addition, prostate carcinomas have been reported to make metastases in thyroid follicular adenomas in a very limited number of cases that had applied to relevant clinics with nodular goiter diagnoses and fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is diagnostic [15].…”
