Urethral mucinous adenocarcinoma of the prostate: An uncommon and diagnostically complex disease

A 66-year-old male presented with hematuria and mucusuria. A transurethral resection of the prostate revealed adenocarcinoma in situ with mucinous features. He underwent a robotic assisted radical prostatectomy with lymph node dissection. Pathology confirmed T2 primary mucin producing urothelial type adenocarcinoma in the prostatic urethra. Urothelial adenocarcinoma arising in the prostatic urethra is an uncommon disease that warrants clear differentiation from other malignancies due to its aggressive nature.
