[A case of advanced prostatic cancer presenting as inguinal mass]

A 71-year-old man visited our hospital complaining of a nodule in the left inguinal region. Pathological and immunohistochemical examination of the prostate and the mass and clinical examination revealed a case of prostatic cancer with lymph node metastasis, stage D. Chemoendocrine therapy (diethylstilbestrol diphosphate, cisplatin, adriamycin and carboquone) was performed and the patient responded well. This case indicated the presence of an unusual prostatic cancer in which large non-regional superficial lymph node metastasis occurred.
