Abstract
Cancer of the Prostate is the most common cancer among men. An era of prostate specific
antigen has changed the pattern of presentation in many parts of the world; with screendetected
diseases constituting the significant proportion. The pattern of cancer of the
prostate progression is well defined and documented, however, atypical manifestation of
lymph node and cutaneous metastases are not uncommonly encountered in clinical
practice. We present three case reports of such an atypical presentation of cancer of the
prostate to further highlight the existence of such manner of presentation and
management challenges, in addition to the late presentation in our environment. It is also
met to increase the index of suspicion in the diagnosis of atypical presentation of cancer of
the prostate.
