Background: A 64‐year‐old Japanese man with stage D2 prostatic cancer, after having responded dramatically to androgen ablation, demonstrated a solitary adrenal metastasis without disease progression to any other site. Methods: A surgical excision of the lesion and adjuvant systemic chemotherapy was performed. Results/Conclusions: The patient has since remained alive without any evidence of recurrence 21 months after surgery.
