Abstract:
Lymphatic metastasis is commonly encountered in prostate cancer. However, prostate cancer along with lymph node involvement in anterior prostatic fat is rarely reported. Here we present one case. Lymphadenectasis was noticed during robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy. Histopathologic examinations confirmed lymph node metastasis in anterior prostatic fat. The patient was assigned to adjuvant androgen deprivation therapy. At 16-month follow-up, biochemical recurrence has not occurred. Detection of lymph node metastasis in anterior prostatic fat of prostate cancer patients provides valuable information for adequate postoperative staging and management.
