Abstract
Microcystic adenocarcinoma is an uncommon histologic variant of prostate carcinoma. Despite its rarity, it has gained increasing recognition over the past decade for its diagnostic challenges and unclear prognostic significance. Herein, we describe a rare case of metastatic microcystic prostate adenocarcinoma, presenting with discordance between imaging and histologic findings. This report highlights the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges of this pathological entity and the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration in the management of intermediate-risk prostate cancer.
