[The cutaneous metastasis of prostatic adenocarcinoma. Apropos a case].
An additional case of prostatic adenocarcinoma metastasizing to the skin is described. The metastatic lesions appeared late and despite surgical and hormonal castration. To our knowledge only 5 cases have been reported in the Spanish literature. Cutaneous metastasis originating from adenocarcinoma of the prostate is a sign of poor prognosis and patients die within 6 months after the appearance of the metastatic lesions. The site and route of tumor dissemination in the present case coincide with those reported in the literature.
