An unusual presentation of metastatic prostate cancer in a 44-year-old man: A case report and review of the literature.

Prostate cancer is one of the two most common non-cutaneous cancers in men. Its presentation might be with unusual symptoms and cause the wrong initial diagnosis. This case report discusses a rare neurologic manifestation of advanced metastatic cancer in a low-risk man. He had been receiving treatment for multiple sclerosis incorrectly due to unusual manifestations such as claudication and pelvic, leg, and shoulder pain. The patient underwent a whole-body bone scan and then a transrectal ultrasound-guided biopsy, which confirmed metastatic prostate cancer with a Gleason score between 7/10 and 10/10 in all samples. Following treatment with chemotherapeutic injections (docetaxel), luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) analogous (Zoladex), and testosterone-suppressing tablets (abiraterone), the disease has been under control and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level has decreased significantly. The most common sites of metastasis are regional lymph nodes, bones, and lungs. However, there are reports about the spread of this type of cancer to other parts of the body. Although most patients are diagnosed when the tumor is localized to the prostate, in about 25% of patients, the disease is diagnosed when metastasis has occurred. Some markers can assist physicians in the diagnosis of this disease, such as the Prostate Health Index and the 4 K score. Key Clinical Message: The diagnosis of prostate cancer should be considered in all age ranges of adult men. The long-distance metastasis might cause unusual presentations of the disease, such as neurologic, musculoskeletal, and dermatologic symptoms and signs far from the origin of the cancer, before genitourinary manifestations. It is crucial to keep the diagnosis of prostate cancer in mind for men with suggestive signs and symptoms that are not usually detected in this disease.
