Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Dermatology
  • Urology

Background:

  • Skin involvement occurs in 2-9% of malignant tumors, usually late in disease progression.
  • Prostatic adenocarcinoma rarely metastasizes to the skin, typically affecting the lower abdomen and genital region.

Observation:

  • A case of cutaneous metastasis from prostatic adenocarcinoma is presented.
  • The metastasis was located on the neck, an atypical site.

Findings:

  • The cutaneous metastasis preceded the diagnosis of the primary prostatic tumor.
  • This presentation is unusual given the typical late-stage and localized spread of prostate cancer to the skin.

Implications:

  • This case expands the understanding of rare metastatic patterns in prostatic adenocarcinoma.
  • Highlights the importance of considering unusual presentations for early cancer diagnosis.
