Prostate adenocarcinoma is a common urologic malignant neoplasm in man. Distant cutaneous metastases (CMs) of prostate carcinoma are extremely rare with a reported incidence of 0.36% and usually they occur late. Clinically, cutaneous metastasis of prostate carcinoma can mimic other skin conditions such as cellulitis, sebaceous cyst, zosteriform lesions, telangectasias, and more, resulting in a poor recognition. Few cases of true cutaneous metastatic prostate carcinoma exist in the literature. We present a case, where the first sign of carcinoma of the prostate was CM over the anterior abdominal wall. Radiological and histopathological confirmation pointed to a diagnosis of carcinoma of the prostate. The patient was treated with orchidectomy and was started on bicalutamide. After 1 month of bicalutamide therapy there was subjective decrease in the size of the metastasis. A high index of suspicion is required while evaluating the different differential diagnoses of this entity particularly in elderly patients.
