The cytologic findings in fine needle aspirates of a previously treated prostatic cancer metastatic to both breasts in a 65-year-old man are described. The prostatic origin of the poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma cells was demonstrated by identification of cytoplasmic prostate-specific antigen. The clinical importance of a conclusive diagnosis differentiating a primary from a metastatic lesion is discussed; this case illustrates the value of immunocytochemical analysis as an aid to cytomorphologic diagnosis in making such determinations.
描述了一名65岁男性先前治疗过的前列腺癌转移至双侧乳房的细针穿刺抽吸物的细胞学检查结果。通过鉴定细胞质前列腺特异性抗原证实了低分化腺癌细胞的前列腺来源。讨论了明确诊断区分原发性和转移性病变的临床重要性；该病例说明了免疫细胞化学分析在辅助细胞形态学诊断以进行此类判断中的价值。
