Resumen

La etiología más frecuente del linfedema en nuestro medio es la tumoral y generalmente debido al tratamiento del mismo. Sin embargo la presentación inicial del cáncer de próstata como linfedema es muy poco frecuente, habiendo muy pocos casos descritos en la literatura. Exponemos el caso de un paciente que ingresó para estudio de linfedema en región genital y en extremidades inferiores siendo diagnosticado de cáncer de próstata con adenopatías retroperitoneales. El tratamiento de elección es el bloqueo hormonal, siendo el pronóstico muy pobre y la supervivencia escasa a los cinco años del diagnóstico.

Abstract

The most common etiology of lymphedema in our environment is tumoral and, generally, it is due to treatment of the cancer itself. However, the initial presentation of prostate carcinoma as lymphedema is very rare. In fact, there aren’t very few documented cases in literature. We described the case of a patient who was admitted into the hospital to be examined for lymphedema in his genitals and legs. Our patient was diagnosed of prostate carcinoma with retroperitoneal adenopathies. The best treatment in this case is block-hormonal therapy. Prognosis is very bad and the survival rate is poor within five years of diagnosis.
