The Other Bladder: A Case of Prostatic Adenocarcinoma Metastasis to the Gallbladder

Abstract

Santosh Kumar and Shumaila Batool

Prostate cancer metastasis to bone and lymph nodes is common, but metastasis to the gallbladder is rare. We report a case of a 72 year-old-male with a three month history of weight loss and nausea. On further evaluation he was found to have an elevated alkaline phosphatase and radiographic evidence of prostate cancer, skeletal metastases, and a gallbladder mass concerning for concomitant gallbladder carcinoma. Prostate biopsy confirmed high-grade prostatic adenocarcinoma. The patient underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy and pathologic evaluation of the gallbladder revealed metastatic prostatic adenocarcinoma without evidence of gallbladder carcinoma. This case demonstrates a possible association between prostatic adenocarcinoma and the gallbladder.
