“…In the literature there are infrequent case reports about the spreading of prostate cancer cells along the needle tract after fine-needle biopsy. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]13,14 In most studies prostate cancer recurrence in the biopsy tract occurred after perineal biopsy, [3][4][5][6]8,14 but there are also some descriptions of its occurrence after transrectal biopsy. 1,2,7,13 In two publications prostate cancer infiltration of the rectal wall was described after both transrectal prostate biopsy and radical prostatectomy, querying the possibility that tumor spilling at the time of radical prostatectomy caused the local recurrence.…”

A 64-year-old male patient with a serum PSA value of 51.91 ng ml À1 and an magnetic resonance imaging scan suggestive of prostate cancer was admitted with bilateral hydronephrosis and anemia. A suprapubic cystostomy had been inserted 6 months earlier, owing to voiding difficulties. The patient was found to have huge multiple bladder stones and a massively thickened bladder wall. A sectio alta with bladder stone removal and bilateral ureteral stenting was performed. Histopathological examination revealed the growth of prostate cancer cells in the cystostomy tube needle tract.
