Subdural metastases from prostatic adenocarcinoma.
Adenocarcinoma of the prostate commonly metastasizes to lymph nodes and bones, with occasional visceral deposits; lesions in the brain are rare. Although leptomeningeal carcinomatosis secondary to prostatic tumor has been reported, discrete cranial dural metastases from prostatic adenocarcinoma have not been described previously. The case of a patient having a unique adenocarcinoma of the prostate with bone, lymph node, and subdural metastatic lesions is presented.
