Abstract

Prostatic metastases in the nose and paranasal sinsuses are rare. Seven cases have previously been reported in the world literature. We describe the clinical presentation of a patient with prostatic metastases and the use of prostate specific antigen in confirming the diagnosis. We also review the literature about metasases involving the nose and paranasal sinuses.
