Adenoid cystic carcinoma is an unusual histological variant of prostatic carcinoma. Because of its rarity, the natural history of this tumor is not known. Here we report this rare entity in a 62-year-old man who presented with symptoms of urinary tract obstruction. Digital rectal examination and ultrasonography (USG) showed an enlarged hard nodular prostate. Serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and prostatic acid phosphate levels were found to be within the normal range. Transrectal ultrasound-guided 12 core biopsies of prostate showed morphological features of an adenoid cystic carcinoma in 8 cores (bilateral, mid and base) on histopathological examination. Immunohistochemistry performed for PSA on paraffin section was negative. After diagnosis, bilateral orchidectomy was performed, and hormonal therapy was started in the form of androgen receptor blocker. The patient was clinically stable during a limited follow up of six months.
