Primary small cell carcinoma of the prostate is an uncommon condition. Between August 1989 and July 1991 seven patients with this pathology presented to the Repatriation General Hospital, Melbourne. Four of these patients presented by means not previously described. Included in this group is the first reported case of this tumour localized to the prostate gland and apparently cured by radical prostatectomy. The generally poor prognosis and lack of hormonal response associated with this condition warrant a greater awareness of the diagnosis among urologists.
原发性前列腺小细胞癌是一种罕见的病症。1989年8月至1991年7月期间，有7例患有这种病理情况的患者到墨尔本遣返总医院就诊。其中4例患者的就诊方式此前未曾描述过。该组病例中包括首例有记录的前列腺局限性肿瘤病例，该病例经根治性前列腺切除术显然已治愈。这种病症普遍预后较差且缺乏激素反应，因此泌尿科医生需要提高对此病诊断的认识。
