Isolated prostate cancer recurrence presenting as pelvic mass nine years after radical retropubic prostatectomy.
Pelvic seeding from radical retropubic prostatectomy for adenocarcinoma of the prostate is uncommon. We describe a patient who presented with a prostate-specific antigen recurrence and was found to have a solitary metastasis adjacent to his pubic bone 9 years after radical prostatectomy. Computed tomography scanning followed by surgery documented the pelvic recurrence.
