Summary A case of carcinoma of the prostate with widespread metastases is reported in whom a coincident malignant growth was found in the right breast at autopsy. The spleen was diffusely infiltrated with tumour. A possible association with stilboestrol therapy is discussed. Observation of the breasts in patients having this treatment appears warranted.
