Two morphologically different types of intracisternal virus-like particles were observed electron microscopically in a biopsy specimen of human prostate cancer. Particles of one type were 150-200 nm in diameter and contained either an electron-dense core or two concentric inner layers. Particles of the other type were smaller, 80-100 nm in diameter, and appeared mostly in filamentous or chainlike formation. Both types of particles and budding were observed in endoplasmic cavities of epithelial tumor cells. The particles had ultrastructural characteristics that suggested a viral nature but were different from the known type B, type C, or type H (hamster type R) virus particles. This was the first election microscopic observation in prostate cancer of virus-like particles similar to those previously reported in a case of human breast carcinoma.
