RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Prostate ductal adenocarcinoma, a rare histology observed in 0.4-0.8% of all prostate cancers, is treated similarly to acinar adenocarcinoma but tends to have a higher likelihood of metastasis, recurrence, and poorer prognosis. CASE PRESENTATION: A 73-year-old Asian-Japanese male presented with gross hematuria, with investigations revealing a prostate ductal adenocarcinoma. Subsequent radical prostatectomy indicated a Gleason score of 8 with no lymph node metastasis. Despite initial prostate-specific antigen level reductions post-prostatectomy and salvage radiation therapy due to recurring elevated prostate-specific antigen levels, no recurrence was evident until 13 years later. A tumor in the anterior urethra was identified as metastasis of his prostate ductal adenocarcinoma. CONCLUSION: This report presents an uncommon case of prostate ductal adenocarcinoma exhibiting a late recurrence in the anterior urethra 13 years post-radical prostatectomy.

Angiosarcoma is a rare malignant tumor derived from vascular endothelial cells and has a poor prognosis. We have experienced a case of multiple breast angiosarcoma for which multiple resections had been performed during the course of its progression over a period of more than 15 years, allowing comprehensive genetic mutation analysis. Somatic mutations in several cancer-related genes were detected, but no previously reported driver gene mutations of angiosarcoma were evident. Several germline mutations associated with malignancy, such as single nucleotide polymorphisms in Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor 4 (FGFR4) (p.Gly388Arg, rs351855), Kinase Insert Domain Receptor (KDR) (Gln472His, rs1870377) and tumor protein p53 (TP53) (p.Pro72Arg, rs1042522) were detected. Common signatures and genetic mutations were scarce in the tumor samples subjected to genetic mutational analysis. These findings suggested that this case was very probably a multiprimary angiosarcoma.
