ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION: Prostatic carcinoma is a tumor that occurs mainly in men older than 50 years. More than 95% correspond to adenocarcinomas and their degree of tumor differentiation is related to metastasis and death. Becausemetastasis to cervical lymphatics is infrequent and with worse survival, a clinical case will be presented. Clinical case: A 62-year-old man, in whom late prostate cancer was later, investigated after multiple imaging studies, biopsies and immunohistochemistry. Discussion: The diagnosis of prostatic carcinoma can be precociously investigated by a simple Rectal Touch coupled with specific Prostate Antigen (PSA), performed in primary care, especially in men with ages close to the fifth decade of life.
