title: Peritoneal dissemination of prostate cancer with the absence of lymph node, skeletal, or visceral metastases in a patient scheduled to undergo robot-assisted radical prostatectomy.
abstract: Peritoneal dissemination of prostate cancer (PCa) with the absence of other metastases is extremely rare. Atypical sites of metastatic disease, for example the peritoneum, are only a recognized finding at autopsy. Herein, we report a case of peritoneal dissemination of a PCa, with the absence of lymph node, skeletal, or visceral metastases in a patient scheduled to undergo robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy.
