Abstract
Primary non- pulmonary neuroendocrine tumors are extremely rare. Prostate as a site for the tumor is sparsely reported. We report a 41-year-old patient with primary neuroendocrine tumor of the prostate. The purpose of this case report is to remind and create an awareness of the existence of this rare entity and think about it as a possible differential diagnosis when dealing with prostate neoplasms.
