Abstract
We report an unusual presentation of metastatic seminoma within the prostat e gland. Histological diagnosis was obtained using trans-rectal ultrasound guided prostatic biopsy. The patient developed a rectovesical fistula after ten weeks of chemotherapy, which healed following a complete radiological response to treatment.
