Abstract

Prostate cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer death in men. the prognosis in prostate cancer is greatly worsened by the presence of metastases, which are most commonly found in bone, lung, liver, and brain. the peritoneum is an extremely uncommon metastatic site for prostate cancer, even in autopsy series.
