Isolated prostatic metastasis from primary sigmoid colon carcinoma

Indian J Gastroenterol. 2004 May-Jun;23(3):114-5.

Abstract

Metastasis to the prostate is extremely uncommon. We report a 38-year-old man with sigmoid colon carcinoma, treated with surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy, who developed isolated metastasis to the prostate four years after initial treatment. He was treated with chemoradiation and remains disease-free three years after detection of metastasis.
