Primary and Pure Neuroendocrine Tumor of the Prostate

Primary neuroendocrine tumors of the prostate are very rare and their biologic behaviour is not yet well known. Clinical and histopathologic features of two cases, one with lymph-node involvement and one organ-confined are described. Young age, clinical presentation and good outcome after radical retropubic prostatectomy were comparable in both patients. © 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
