Abstract

Adenocarcinomas comprise more than 95% of all prostatic malignancies and osseous metastases constitute the commonest form of hematogenous metastases. It is rare for a patient with a carcinoma of prostate to present with a huge abdominal mass. A few cases have been responded that sarcoma of prostate extended into the rectum or pelvic cavity, but prostatic adenocarcinoma has small volume than sarcoma and its invasion into the rectum is reported rarely. We report a case of 69-year-old man who had a huge prostatic adenocarcinoma, invaded into the lower abdominal cavity.
