Prostate carcinoma is typically diagnosed and treated, and it rarely manifests as cutaneous metastases. We herein report electron radiotherapy for the treatment of cutaneous metastases causing cellulitis, with a durable clinical response achieved.
A 70-year-old male patient with scrotal cutaneous metastasis of prostate carcinoma was undergoing treatment with docetaxel chemotherapy due to recurring cellulitis originating from the scrotum, and his treatment was interrupted. We administered electron radiotherapy to the scrotal cutaneous metastasis lesions, as irradiation was difficult, and obtained a good clinical effect. Subsequently, he continued chemotherapy, and the scrotal lesions remained clear and dry with no recurring cellulitis for 1 year.
Electron radiotherapy is one of the safe and effective treatment options for controlling cutaneous metastasis of prostate carcinoma.
前列腺癌通常可得到诊断和治疗，其皮肤转移情况很少见。我们在此报告采用电子线放疗治疗引起蜂窝织炎的皮肤转移灶，并取得了持久的临床疗效。
一名70岁男性患者，患有前列腺癌阴囊皮肤转移，因阴囊反复出现蜂窝织炎正在接受多西他赛化疗，其治疗被迫中断。由于照射困难，我们对阴囊皮肤转移灶进行了电子线放疗，取得了良好的临床效果。随后，他继续进行化疗，阴囊病变保持清洁干燥，1年内未再出现蜂窝织炎。
电子线放疗是控制前列腺癌皮肤转移的安全有效的治疗选择之一。
