Abstract
Two patients with prostatic adenocarcinoma are reported whose metastases harbored large foci of squamous cell carcinoma. The prostatic origin of such areas was proven by immunoperoxidase staining for prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP) as well as the identification of transition zones between adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. The possible role of estrogen therapy in inducing the squamous change is discussed.
