An unusual case of retrovesical ectopic prostate tissue accompanied by primary prostate cancer

We report an unusual case of retrovesical ectopic prostate tissue in a 73-year-old man withprimary prostate cancer. The man's prostate-specific antigen was 24.66 ng/ml.Transabdominal ultrasonography, pelvic computed tomography and pelvic magneticresonance imaging demonstrated a heterogeneous 8.5 x 8.0 x 7.0 cm mass in contact with theposterior wall of the urinary bladder. The patient underwent a retropubic radicalprostatectomy and resection of the tumor. Pathological examination of the prostate revealed aprostatic adenocarcinoma, Gleason score of 4 + 5 = 9, and the retrovesical tumor wasconfirmed to be a benign prostate tissue.
