Ileus as First Sign of De Novo Neuroendocrine Prostate Cancer
Journal Title: International Archives of Urology and Complications - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
A 73-year-old man with almost no previous medical history was admitted acute with stomach pain, distended abdomen, stop of defecation and feculent vomiting. The patient had been constipated for three months and about a month before admission, a coloscopy was performed presenting no findings. Computed Tomography (CT) showed mechanical bowel obstruction and a huge malignantly transformed prostate gland as the triggering cause.
