AB  - We present a case of a 75-year-old male with a history 
of high risk prostate cancer who underwent androgen 
deprivation therapy and palliative radiation treatments 
for his disease. Subsequently, he presented with gross 
hematuria and severe lower urinary tract symptoms. A 
palliative transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) 
at that time, demonstrated large cell differentiated 
neuroendocrine carcinoma with metastasis to the lung. 
We review the limited literature on this rare form of disease 
and present current treatment strategies.
