A case of small-cell carcinoma (SCC) of the prostate is described with extensive liver metastases in a 60-year-old man. The case is unique because of the rare histologic pattern coupled with death secondary to hepatic failure. A spectrum of neuroendocrine tumors are found in the prostate similar to those found in the lung. Ten cases of prostatic SCC or carcinoid, identified in the English-language literature over a period of 14 years, are summarized. In the absence of an apparent pulmonary lesion, surgical pathologists should also consider the prostate as a primary site for extrapulmonary SCC when confronted with biopsy material of metastatic SCC.
本文描述了一例60岁男性前列腺小细胞癌（SCC）伴广泛肝转移的病例。该病例独特之处在于其罕见的组织学模式以及继发于肝衰竭的死亡。前列腺中发现了一系列神经内分泌肿瘤，类似于在肺中发现的肿瘤。总结了14年间英文文献中报道的10例前列腺SCC或类癌病例。当面对转移性SCC的活检材料且无明显肺部病变时，外科病理学家也应考虑前列腺为肺外SCC的原发部位。
