Metastatic Prostate Cancer (with Prostate-Specific Antigen of 9996) Presenting as Obstructive Jaundice

A 78-year-old man admitted with clinical jaundice and pelvic pain had a total bilirubin level of 6.56 mg/dL, an alkaline phosphatase level of 855 U/L, and a prostate specific antigen (PSA) level of 9996 ng/mL. A computed tomogram demonstrated marked retroperitoneal, peripancreatic, periceliac, and periaortic lymphadenopathy. A bone scan revealed increased radiolabeled technetium uptake in the pelvis, vertebral column, parietooccipital region, ribs, and appendiceal skeleton. A biopsy of one pelvic lesion revealed metastatic prostate cancer. This man's obstructive jaundice and bone pain had a dramatic response to treatment with a gonadotropin-releasing hormone analog (leupro lide) and antiandrogen (bicalutamide). All bone pair and clinical signs of jaundice disappeared in 1 week His total bilirubin decreased to 0.84 mg/dL by 2 weeks His PSA values reflected this clinical response, decreasing to 4022 ng/mL in 1 week, 2680 ng/dL after 2 weeks and 1028 ng/mL after 1 month of the above therapy.
