Abstract
Skeletal metastases from prostate cancer is common and usually do not pose a diagnostic dilemma. This study reviews radiographic appearances of prostatic metastases to the appendicular skeleton in four patients where the appearances simulated osteosarcoma, Paget's disease and Pag et's sarcoma. Prostatic metastases to long bones can produce appearanc es considered characteristic of other lesions and suggest misleading a lternative diagnoses.
