Delayed metastatic renal carcinoma to prostate

Urology. 2006 Mar;67(3):623.e7-10. doi: 10.1016/j.urology.2005.09.058.

Abstract

Renal cell carcinoma metastatic to the prostate is a rare entity. We report a delayed (9 years) metachronous solitary metastasis presentation of renal cell carcinoma to the prostate. Including our patient, only 5 cases of metastatic renal cell carcinoma to the prostate have been reported. Four patients presented with hematuria and two with bladder outlet obstruction; one had an incidental finding after prostate biopsy. Radical prostatectomy could be considered for patients with the prostate as the only site of disease.
