Abstract

Localized prostate cancer and polycythemia vera (PV) are rare, and can be difficult to distinguish from bone marrow metastatic prostate cancer. The present study describes a case of prostate cancer occurring with PV. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed diffusely inhomogeneous bone marrow of the pelvis and a localized prostatic mass. The bone marrow biopsy indicated erythrocytosis and leukocytosis. The patient was treated with aspirin and twice‑weekly phlebotomy procedures for two weeks, followed by a radical prostatectomy. Following the surgery, the patient was continually treated with interferon‑α2b and aspirin, and demonstrated no abnormalities within the one‑year follow‑up period. The findings of the present study may aid in the future diagnosis and treatment of patients with prostate cancer and PV.
