Description
Arifur Rahman and co-authors report a rare prostate cancer case from Bangladesh in a 2026 paper. Small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the prostate is uncommon and very aggressive. Median survival sits under thirteen months even with full treatment. A trap sets it apart: PSA, the usual prostate marker, stays low while disease rages.
A 35-year-old man came in with blocked urine flow, constipation, and deep pelvic pain. His PSA was tiny despite a large prostate mass, liver spread, and bone deposits. A first biopsy read as standard cancer. The mismatch spurred a second look, and urgent surgery confirmed the rare type. The case warns resource-poor clinics of the PSA paradox.
