“…This concerns the development of local recurrence and progressive metastatic disease. There already have been reports of disease-specific mortality after a short-term follow-up [5,35]. Although recent studies could not reveal any specific risk factors for the development of port-site metastases related to the laparoscopic technique, most of the reported trocar metastases in the field of urology have been observed in cases of transitional cell carcinoma [30,35].…”

“…Careful attention to the nuclear morphology and the presence of delicate fibrillary vascular cores between tumor cells aids correct diagnosis. Other differentials include fibrohistiocytic lesions of the skin and subcutaneous tissue (xanthomatous dermatofibroma, MFH, plexiform fibrohistiocytic tumor, xanthoma, and granular cell tumor) and various skin adnexal tumors (sebaceous hyperplasia, sebaceous adenoma and carcinoma, clear cell sarcoma, clear cell syringoma, clear cell hidradenoma and clear cell porocarcinoma) [ 8 ].…”

“…Tumor related (high grade cancer), wound related (local immune response) and procedure related (morcellation, absence of bag retrieval) factors would appear to facilitate tumor seeding during laparoscopic surgery. 3,7,[12][13][14] Port site metastasis after laparoscopic radical prostatectomy most likely results from a combination of these factors.…”
