Metastasis to the brain from prostate carcinoma is a rare event, having been reported in less than 5% of postmortem examinations. The incidence of cases detected antemortem is even smaller, and the incidence of brain metastasis as the only site of metastasis has been reported in only one other case. The authors present a second such case of a patient with a Stage C adenocarcinoma of the prostate that metastasized to the brain stem; this was the only site of spread.
前列腺癌脑转移是一种罕见事件，在不到5%的尸检中被报告过。生前检测到的病例发生率更低，而脑转移作为唯一转移部位的发生率仅在另一例病例中被报告过。作者报告了第二例这样的病例，一名患有C期前列腺腺癌的患者发生了脑干转移；这是唯一的转移部位。
