[Radical prostatectomy in hemophiliac patient].
OBJECTIVE
To describe a case of organ-confined prostate cancer in a patient with hemophilia who was treated with radical prostatectomy.


METHODS
We report the medical history emphasizing the haematologic, anesthetic and surgical management.


RESULTS
We demonstrate that a successful retropubic radical prostatectomy may be undertaken in a hemophilic patient, without major morbidity, after performing an adequate evaluation and taking pertinent measures.


CONCLUSIONS
Retropubic radical prostatectomy is a therapeutic option which can be undertaken in the treatment of hemophilic patients with organ confined prostate cancer, successfully and with low morbidity. Therefore, this therapeutic option should be considered among those to be offered to these patients.
