A 60-year-old man visited our hospital to treat a large cystic mass in the pelvis which had been found by abdominal ultrasonography in December 201X. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a multilocular cyst with a maximum diameter of about 10 cm. CT-guided drainage and sclerotherapy with minocycline reduced the size of tumor by 40%, but symptoms such as difficulty of defecation and urinary frequency appeared a year and a half later due to re-enlargement of the cysts.

We report a 79-year-old male with treatment-related NEPC, presenting as rectal bleeding after hormonal therapy. MRI showed a 51 × 52 × 65 mm tumor occupying almost the whole prostate gland and invading the seminal vesicle and rectum as moderately heterogeneous hypointensity on T2-weighted image, restricted diffusion on apparent diffusion coefficient map and diffusion-weighted imaging, and heterogeneous enhancement on Gd-enhanced T1-weighted image.
