Abstract
During the densitometric follow-up of a 73-yr-old male suffering from bullo us pemphigoid and glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis, a marked increase in bone mineral density (BMD) led to the diagnosis of an asymptomatic prostat ic cancer with secondary diffuse bone lesions. This eventuality must be con sidered in patients with a rapid and unexplained gain in BMD.
