Port-Site Metastasis of Undiagnosed Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma After Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy: Case Report and Literature Review.

Laparoscopic port-site metastases remain rare for urologic tumors, despite the increasing use of laparoscopic techniques on the approach of urologic malignancy. Herein, we report a case of port-site mass after laparoscopic radical prostatectomy whose immunohistochemistry demonstrated metastasis from a pancreatic lesion. A 62-year-old man presented to our ambulatory clinic with an elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) of 7.
