title: Synchronous diagnosis of prostatic adenocarcinoma and sarcoidosis.
abstract: Sarcoidosis and prostatic carcinoma in the same patient is a rare clinical entity. This is the third reported case of such pathology. Immunodeficiency caused by sarcoidosis may induce immunity disorientation resulting in the presence of prostatic carcinoma. Sarcoidosis in relation with malignancy may give some answers for the etiopathology of cancer.
