Concomitant Bilateral Inferior Gluteal Lymph Node Involvement in Metastatic Prostate Adenocarcinoma Detected on Gallium-Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography.

An unusual and unique case of prostate adenocarcinoma with involvement of bilateral inferior gluteal lymph nodes is reported. The patient was a 42-year-old male, with conventional prostatic adenocarcinoma (Gleason score: 5 + 4 = 9), who, during disease progression with rising serum prostate specific antigen levels following medical androgen deprivation therapy, demonstrated new prostate-specific membrane antigen expressing metastatic intermuscular deposits in the bilateral gluteal region, subsequently proven to be bilateral inferior gluteal nodal metastasis. A therapeutic implication to this may be that these nodes usually fall beyond the range covered by the therapeutic radiation field coverage where external radiotherapy is the advocated modality of choice and are not easily reachable through standard surgical procedures. As a result, they could have an impact on the way patients are clinically treated and on their prognosis.
