Peritoneal Carcinosis, An Atypical Metastatic Site in Prostate Adenocarcinoma: A Case Report

Abstract

Adenocarcinoma of the prostate is the second most common malignant tumour. It can spread in three ways: locally, via the lymphatic system or through the bloodstream. Diffuse peritoneal carcinosis is a rare entity during the evolution of prostate adenocarcinoma and only a few cases have been reported in the literature. This case report presents a patient with synchronous metastatic prostatic adenocarcinoma with peritoneal carcinosis. This case highlights the rarity of this type of prostate adenocarcinoma metastasis.
