Late recurrence of adenoid cystic carcinoma of the prostate.
A 44-year-old patient underwent radical prostatectomy and adjuvant radiotherapy for adenoid cystic carcinoma of the prostate. After 7 years and 3 months he recurred locally and was treated with external beam irradiation. The current follow up comprises 9 years and 5 months at which the patient is asymptomatic with stable disease. Lymph node or distant metastases did never occur and the prostate specific antigen level was always within the normal range.
