Abstract

There are plenty of neuroendocrine cells in the prostatic tissue and these are widely distribu-ted to prostate. In this case report a 63 years old patient had lower urinary tract symptoms for 6 months. He was using  alpha blocker treatment for 2 months.  His prostate specific antigen (PSA) value was 3ng/ml. TUR-P operation was perfor-med at January 2013. Pathology result is reported as small cell carcinoma of prostate. After diagno-sis, single agent carboplatin (AUC 5) chemothe-rapy and palliative radiotherapy were planned. Chemotherapy was stopped after first cure be-cause of intolerance of patient. He is deceased at fourth month of diagnosis.

Key Words: Prostate, prostate cancer, small cell carcinoma
