He noticed a single red‐colored pea‐sized nodular lesion over the central lower abdomen 6 months back. Multiple lesions developed surrounding the initial lesion and gradually extended bilaterally. Following complaints of thinning of urinary stream, dysuria, and constipation, he was diagnosed as a case of prostatic adenocarcinoma (stage 4 with involvement of inguinal lymph nodes, gleason score 7) 5 years back. Considering the age of the patient and stage of the disease, palliative treatment with transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) and orchidectomy was done.
