Abstract :
Pure foamy gland carcinoma in prostate needle biopsy is seldom encountered. Majority of the prostatic
carcinoma cases are acinar type adenocarcinoma. The features of classic acinar adenocarcinoma like
large nuclei, prominent nucleoli and infiltrative pattern are not seen in most of the cases of foamy gland
carcinoma. Foamy gland carcinoma (FGC) is composed of cells with characteristic abundant foamy
cytoplasm and low N:C ratio. These low-grade FGC can mimic benign prostatic glands and thus serve
as a diagnostic challenge. We here report a case of pure foamy gland variant of adenocarcinoma diagnosed
on TRUS biopsy.
