Non-prostatic malignant disease mimicking prostatic cancer.
Three patients with pelvic tumours (2 cases of pelvic sarcoma and 1 case of metastatic bronchial carcinoma) presented with symptoms and signs suggestive of prostatic carcinoma. Transrectal ultrasonic scanning with perineal biopsy facilitated the diagnosis. The prognosis of pelvic sarcoma was poor following radiotherapy.
