Cutaneous metastasis in prostatic carcinoma.

Sir, Almost all prostate cancers are adenocarcinoma. The age-specific mortality and absolute number of deaths from prostate cancer have been decreasing since 1993.[1] There is an almost 8:1 ratio in the incidence of prostate-specific mortality. The disease locally invades along the nerve sheath and metastasizes through lymphatic chains or blood vessels.[2] Distant metastases are common when lymph nodes are involved. Bone is the most common site of metastases. Here, we are reporting one patient with metastatic prostatic carcinoma who later developed cutaneous metastases during the course of disease.
