Prostatic metastases in the nose and paranasal sinuses.
Prostatic metastases in the nose and paranasal sinuses are rare. Seven cases have previously been reported in the world literature. We describe the clinical presentation of a patient with prostatic metastases and the use of prostate specific antigen in confirming the diagnosis. We also review the literature about metastases involving the nose and paranasal sinuses.
