摘要
A forty-nine-year-old patient was found to have Schistosoma eggs inside his prostatic cancer. At the time of diagnosis, the patient already had spread of metastatic disease in lumbar spine. Review of the literature revealed this to be the first such case published in English literature. Despite advanced stage of disease (Stage D2), the patient responded well to immediate orchiectomy and regional irradiation. Two years after diagnosis was established, the patient was without clinical evidence of disease, when he suddenly died. The cause of death was not established because the family declined an autopsy.
