โœฆ Synopsis

Numerous ectopic hormones and markers have been described in small cell carcinoma of the lung as well as in extrapulmonary small cell carcinomas. The authors report a case of a patient with metastatic small cell carcinoma of unknown primary who had very high prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP) and prostatic specific antigen (PSA) levels. Results of multiple prostate examinations, as well as blind biopsies, were normal. His course was significantly longer than that of the usual patient with extensive small cell carcinoma. At autopsy the prostate showed only mild benign prostatic hypertrophy. There are no previous reports in the literature of abnormal prostate markers in small cell carcinomas. Physicians should be aware

Prostatic-specific antigen (PSA) is regarded as a specific marker secreted by normal and neoplastic acinar epithelial cells of the prostate gland; its detection by immunocytochemistry has been accepted as an indication of metastatic prostate cancer. This is ascribed to the commonly held belief that
