Abstract

Basal cell carcinoma of the prostate is a rare tumor subtype arising from the prostatic basal cells and follows a variable clinical course. We describe two cases of patients with basal cell carcinoma of the prostate treated at our center. One case involves a patient with prior radiation with brachytherapy for prostatic adenocarcinoma, who subsequently developed a locally aggressive and invasive basal cell carcinoma of the prostate that eventually required pelvic exenteration. To our knowledge, we are the first to describe a case of basal cell carcinoma of the prostate in a patient with prior radiation with brachytherapy for prostatic adenocarcinoma.
