Metastatic carcinoma of prostate 23 years after radical prostatectomy.
Carcinoma of the prostate may present with metastatic disease many years after treatment. We present a patient with adenocarcinoma of the prostate, "cured" by radical perineal prostatectomy in 1962, with the first signs of metastases presenting in 1985. This emphasizes the importance of long-term follow-up of patients with prostate carcinoma.
