Overview

Case report demonstrates unexpected metastatic prostate adenocarcinoma diagnosis in a 69-year-old man after resection of presacral mass, indicating further diagnostic protocols.

Key Points

  • This case aims to highlight the rarity and diagnostic challenges of metastatic prostate adenocarcinoma in the presacral space.
  • A 69-year-old man underwent resection of a presacral mass via the Kraske approach due to suspected primary neoplasm.
  • Preoperative assessments included MRI, which suggested a neurogenic tumor, and omitted serum PSA measurements and biopsy due to location hazards.
  • Histopathological analysis confirmed metastatic prostate adenocarcinoma post-resection.
  • Histopathology revealed metastatic prostatic adenocarcinoma with positive immunostaining for PSA and prostatic acid phosphatase.
  • Had the primary prostate tumor been identified preoperatively, management would have significantly changed.
  • The Kraske approach provided adequate exposure for resection, emphasizing its utility in suspected presacral neoplasms.
