“…However, spread outside of the inguinal region occurs rarely, with only three previously reported cases to the chest wall. 22,38,42 Other unusual presentations include cutaneous spread following laparoscopic pelvic lymphadenectomy for prostatic carcinoma, 37 zoster-like patterns, 6,9 and spread to the head and neck. 11,16,30,33,36 Zoster-like patterns of cutaneous metastasis from prostate cancer occur when the malignant cells grow along nerve sheaths.…”

Prostate cancer is the most common malignancy in men in the United States. However, skin metastasis from prostate carcinoma is extremely uncommon. Here, we present a 75‐year‐old Caucasian man with a history of metastatic prostate cancer developing multiple subcutaneous, erythematous nodules over the left anterior chest over a 3‐month period. A fine needle aspiration of a subcutaneous nodule showed neoplastic cells consistent with metastatic prostate cancer. This case represents only the fourth reported case of cutaneous metastasis from prostate cancer to the chest wall and the ninth case outside the inguinal area.

“…The risk of metastasis seeding after oncological laparoscopic procedures is an important and essential debate but this question is not yet solved [12]. There is only one report of prostate metastasis recurrence on port site [13]. This case concerned a laparoscopic staging lymphadenectomy for a pT3 prostatic tumor with preoperatively evident metastatic lymph node.…”

Laparoscopic radical prostatectomy: Initial experience and preliminary assessment after 65 operations

BACKGROUND Our purpose was to evaluate the technical feasibility, oncological efficacy, and intraoperative and postoperative morbidity of laparoscopic radical prostatectomy. METHODS We describe an original technique of laparoscopic radical prostatectomy performed in 65 successive patients during 11 months. RESULTS Radical prostatectomy was performed entirely by laparoscopy in 59 patients (91%). The median operating time was 265 min, including times for lymphadenectomy performed in 33% of patients. Preoperative complications included one rectal injury, sutured laparoscopically with an uneventful postoperative course, and one epigastric artery injury which needed secondary open procedure. The transfusion rate was 15.4% (10 patients). Median postoperative vesical catheterization lasted 7 days. The reduction of postoperative pain allowed rapid discharge of patients, by the fourth postoperative day in 60% of consenting patients. As regards oncological results, resection margins were negative in 57 patients (87.7%). The last prostate‐specific antigen (PSA) assay was undetectable (<0.1 ng/ml) in 85.7% of the 42 patients in whom PSA was available more than 1 month after the operation. CONCLUSIONS Radical prostatectomy can be routinely performed by laparoscopy by an experienced team. Short‐term oncological data were identical to the results of conventional retropubic surgery, and morbidity was low. The laparoscopic approach could constitute in the future a technical improvement over radical prostatectomy if long‐term oncological results are confirmed and if improvement of intraoperative vision improves the functional results of this operation.

“…5,7,8 However, there are problems with laparoscopic surgery for malignant disease such as the lengthy operative time and abdominal wall tumor implantation. 5,9,10 With regard to retroperitoneoscopic ureterocutaneostomy, the procedure is very simple and safe in that it can be carried out without the dissection of large blood vessels and with little risk of tumor spillage and implantation. Moreover, this procedure has the remarkable advantage of avoiding extra incisions for resected specimens.…”

A 71-year-old man who had previously undergone left nephroureterectomy for renal pelvic tumor developed advanced bladder cancer with obstructive uropathy. He complained of severe macroscopic hematuria, dysuria and presented with postrenal failure. To rescue the renal function and improve ease the patient's symptoms, retroperitoneoscopic ureterocutaneostomy was performed. The operation time was 90 min and blood loss was kept to a minimum. He was able to walk and eat on the first postoperative day, and he left the hospital on postoperative day 21 with satisfactory renal function. Retroperitoneoscopic ureterocutaneostomy is simple, less invasive and a reproducible procedure for poor prognostic advanced cancer patients with obstructive uropathy.
