Urethral metastases of a prostate cancer. A case report.

A patient presented with local pain and voiding difficulties due to a bulky prostatic cancer and diffuse metastatic lesions throughout the pars spongiosa of the urethra. This rare event prompted us to review the literature. Lacking a specific palliative therapy, we developed a technique of intraurethral brachytherapy. With this treatment, we were able to reach a life-lasting palliation.
