[Metastatic prostate adenocarcinoma in hernial sac. Contribution of one case].
Presentation of a case of stage D2 prostatic adenocarcinoma, diagnosed through a chance finding of micrometastasis in the pathohistological study of the hernial sac of a patient undergoing inguinal herniorrhaphy. Most usual sites for prostate cancer metastasis are lymph nodes, bones, lungs, liver, and brain. During our revision of unusual anatomical sites for prostatic carcinoma metastasis, we found references of metastasis on the uvea, larynx, orbit and maxillary sinus. The peritoneal cavity was not found to be a common site for metastatic implants. It was also found that such peritoneal spread was usually diagnosed after a postmortem examination.
