Abstract
There exist rare cases in which a prostatic carcinoma invades the peri rectal space producing an extrinsic rectal stenosis. Three cases are d iscussed. Differential diagnosis with a rectal tumor is difficult clin ically, but endorectal ultrasound and deep rectal biopsies must provid e the correct diagnosis in most cases. Hormonotherapy is recommanded, but prognosis is reserved.
