title: Metastasis of prostate gland adenocarcinoma to penile and scrotal cutaneous tissues.
abstract: The metastatic sites of adenocarcinoma of the prostate are well documented. Bone metastasis is the most frequently encountered site. Skin metastasis is rarely reported. Its presence, however, is associated with a poor prognosis. The possible cause of cutaneous spread is discussed in the case report. The possible role that external-beam radiotherapy may play in this setting is also analyzed.
