title: Carcinoma of the prostate: case report.
abstract: The authors report a case of carcinoma of the prostate with an unusual presentation. The patient, an 80-year-old man, had swelling of the right buttock and right side of the lower abdomen, diffuse bony pain and increasing weakness of both lower limbs. He responded well to therapy. Aggressive management of previously untreated carcinoma is warranted even in elderly patients with metastatic disease.
