Abstract

Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancer types, affecting millions of individuals worldwide. The present study reported two cases of metastatic prostate cancer presenting with newly diagnosed monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS). To the best of our knowledge, prostate cancer leading to MGUS has not been documented previously. MGUS is generally thought to be benign and has been demonstrated to convert into multiple myeloma (MM), as well as other lymphoproliferative disorders. Due to the high mortality rate associated with MM, further studies are required to confirm and clarify the association between prostate cancer and MGUS. Additionally, patients can be counseled on the requirement for follow up studies following a diagnosis of prostate cancer.
