Multiple cutaneous metastases of advanced prostate cancer: case report and a review of the literature

Acta Chir Iugosl. 2009;56(1):105-7. doi: 10.2298/aci0901105c.

Abstract

Between 2% and 9% of malignant tumours are metastasizing to the skin. Cutaneous metastases from carcinoma of the prostate occur infrequently. Their presence is associated with poor prognosis. We report the case of a 65-year-old man with carcinoma of the prostate, presenting multiple metastases in the scrotal skin region.
