Introduction:
Prostatic cancer metastases (PCM) are usually systemic. Isolated PCM liver metastases (PCLM) are very rare. The treatment of PCM consists of hormono- and chemotherapy eventually combined with stereotactic radiation.
Patient And Discussion:
A case of a 67-year old man presenting with a solitary, metachronous PCLM undergoing a left extended hepatectomy due to resistance to hormono- and chemotherapy is reported. He died of recurrent systemic disease 31 months later.
Conclusions:
The very rare indication and possible role of liver resection in the treatment of PCLM is discussed.
