A case of carcinoma of the prostate with metastases to both kidneys, both adrenals, both breasts, the head of the pancreas, and one testis as confirmed by autopsy is reported. This combination of rare occurrences of metastases from the prostate has not previously been described in the literature. The serum acid phosphatases were normal throughout the course of the disease, and the tumor did not respond to treatment with diethylstilbestrol 5 mg daily. The possible routes of metastases from cancer of prostate are outlined.
