Abstract
BACKGROUND: A 64-year-old Japanese man with stage D2 prostatic cancer, after having responded dramatically to androgen ablation, demonstrated a solitary adrenal metastasis without disease progression to any other site. METHODS: A surgical excision of the lesion and adjuvant systemic chemotherapy was performed. RESULTS/ CONCLUSIONS: The patient has since remained alive without any evidence of recurrence 21 months after surgery.
