Abstract
(en) INTRODUCTION: Prostatic cancer metastases (PCM) are usually systemic. Isolated PCM liver metastases (PCLM) are very rare. The treatment of PCM consists of hormono- and chemotherapy eventually combined with stereotactic radiation. PATIENT AND DISCUSSION: A case of a 67-year old man presenting with a solitary, metachronous PCLM undergoing a left extended hepatectomy due to resistance to hormono- and chemotherapy is reported. He died of recurrent systemic disease 31 months later. CONCLUSIONS: The very rare indication and possible role of liver resection in the treatment of PCLM is discussed.
