title: Surgical excision of a metastatic adrenal lesion in a patient with prostatic cancer.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  A 64-year-old Japanese man with stage D2 prostatic cancer, after having responded dramatically to androgen ablation, demonstrated a solitary adrenal metastasis without disease progression to any other site.
  
  
  METHODS
  A surgical excision of the lesion and adjuvant systemic chemotherapy was performed.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The patient has since remained alive without any evidence of recurrence 21 months after surgery.
