Abstract: Prostate cancer in patients with dwarfism is rarely reported. One case was reported in this article. The patient was admitted to the hospital due to the PSA elevation for more than 4 years. Due to the dwarf disease, the patient could not accommodate the transrectal ultrasound probe, and was highly suspected of prostate cancer.The prostate needle biopsy was not performed. Combined with the medical history, PSA level, preoperative MRI and PSMA-PET/CT examination, the patient was clinically diagnosed with localized prostate cancer, and radical surgical treatment was performed.
