Carcinoid tumors are exceedingly rare in the genitourinary tract and may occur in the kidney, urinary bladder, urethra, or prostate.
To review the clinical and pathologic features of carcinoid tumors occurring in the urinary tract and prostate.
We searched the English language literature using MEDLINE and Ovid.
Carcinoid tumors of the urinary tract and prostate share similar morphologic features with their counterparts in other organs. The differential diagnosis includes metastatic carcinoid tumor, paraganglioma, and nested variants of urothelial and prostatic carcinomas. Correlation of the clinical presentation and histopathologic features (including the immunohistochemical profile) will ensure accurate diagnosis of these rare tumors.
类癌在泌尿生殖道极为罕见,可发生于肾脏、膀胱、尿道或前列腺。
回顾发生于尿路和前列腺的类癌的临床和病理特征。
我们使用MEDLINE和Ovid检索了英文文献。
尿路和前列腺类癌与其在其他器官中的对应物具有相似的形态学特征。鉴别诊断包括转移性类癌、副神经节瘤以及尿路上皮癌和前列腺癌的巢状变体。临床表现与组织病理学特征(包括免疫组化谱)的相关性将确保对这些罕见肿瘤的准确诊断。
