  • Title: [An unusual presentation of prostate cancer].
    Author: Joual A, Rabii R, Aboutaeib R, el Moussaoui A, Benjelloun S.
    Journal: Ann Urol (Paris); 1996; 30(5):262-3. PubMed ID: 8975593.
    Abstract:
    The authors report an uncommon case of a 74-year old man with prostatic cancer revealed by pelvic mass. Ultrasound exam and CT-scan showed a bilateral laterorectal mass with high density. Presence of such a mass in an old patient is very suggestive of lymph nodes than retroperitoneal tumor. Serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) is rather helpful in such conditions. Biopsy of the mass allows confirmation of the prostatic cancer diagnosis. Bilateral Surgical pulpectomy is performed in combination with oral hormonal therapy. Follow-up after 6 months showed a good course or ultrasound exam and PSA level.
