    This case report details rare urethral metastases from prostate adenocarcinoma causing urinary retention. Transurethral resection offered symptomatic relief and showed no recurrence during follow-up.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Prostate adenocarcinoma is a common cancer in men.
    • Metastasis from prostate cancer typically involves bone, lymph nodes, and distant organs.
    • Urethral metastasis is an exceptionally rare presentation.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with urinary retention due to multiple urethral metastases.
    • Urethrogram revealed unique findings indicative of tumor infiltration in the urethra.
    • The patient underwent transurethral resection for symptomatic management.

    Findings:

    • Transurethral resection provided immediate symptomatic relief from urinary retention.
    • No local tumor recurrence was detected during a sixteen-month follow-up period.
    • This highlights the possibility of urethral involvement in advanced prostate cancer.

    Implications:

    • Early recognition and management of rare metastatic sites are crucial for patient care.
    • Transurethral resection can be an effective palliative treatment for urethral metastases.
    • Further research may elucidate the mechanisms and optimal management of such rare presentations.
