Popis: This study aimed to investigate the characteristics of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in pure prostatic ductal adenocarcinoma.From January 2009 to February 2020, seven patients who were diagnosed with pure prostatic ductal adenocarcinoma and had a referable preoperative MRI scan were included in the study. We evaluated the following MRI findings for each tumor: size, location, presence of multi-cystic component, and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value.The median maximum diameter of the tumors was 22 mm (range 19-70 mm). Regarding transverse distribution, five tumors were located in the periurethral area and two were located peripherally apart from the urethra. Two of the seven tumors had cystic components. The median ADC value of the tumors was 0.754 × 10The non-cystic mass with periurethral distribution (type II) and multi-cystic mass (type III) may be characteristic features that differentiate pure ductal adenocarcinoma from ordinary acinar adenocarcinoma on MRI.
