Bladder outflow obstruction caused by prostate metastasis in a young male.
A 38-year-old male patient presented with symptoms of bladder outflow obstruction. Rectal palpation revealed a giant prostate. Sonography only confirmed the enlarged prostate. Magnetic resonance imaging showed, on both T1- and T2-weighted sequences, a large, inhomogenously hypointense, encapsulated prostate tumor encompassing the entire prostate. No capsular penetration or seminal vesicle invasion was seen. Transurethral biopsy of the prostate was performed. Histology demonstrated a prostate metastasis of colorectal carcinoma.
