Rare Metastasis of Prostate Cancer in a Man With Ulcerative Colitis After Creation of an Ileal Pouch

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Prostate cancer is one of the most common globally diagnosed cancers in men. It most frequently metastasizes to bones, lymph nodes, lungs, or the liver. There are limited data investigating the impact of prostate cancer on patients who have undergone ileal pouch-anal anastomosis. We explore the case and the diagnosis of a 68-year-old man with prostate adenocarcinoma that metastasized to the ileal pouch and ultimately required pouch explant. In addition, we discuss the challenges associated with screening and treating prostate cancer in patients with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis.
