{Abstract}: <B>UNASSIGNED: </B>Prostate cancer is one of the leading causes of death due to carcinoma in developed countries due to metastasis. Most of the patient at the time of diagnosis has shown metastasis. Metastasis to bone leads to various skeletal-related events such as fracture and neural compression leading to increase morbidity in such patients. An early diagnosis leads to favorable outcomes. Skeletal metastasis is usually presented as osteoblastic localized lesion in the spine or pelvis. Here, we like to present a case of prostatic metastasis in a patient with widespread metastasis making the diagnosis in such condition a challenging issue.<BR><B>UNASSIGNED: </B>A 61-year-old male comes with a complaint of right hip pain who has been diagnosed in some other clinic as a case of osteopoikilosis after an X-ray of the pelvis with both hips. However, on the further skeletal analysis found to involve most of the skeletal system with the diffuse osteolytic lesion. A bone scan, lab investigations helped in the arrival of diagnosis of atypical prostatic metastasis.<BR><B>UNASSIGNED: </B>Prostate cancer is less likely to present as widespread osteolytic lesions. A very few case reports have been found in the literature regarding such presentation. This case demonstrates how to differentiate between metastasis and other common condition showing such presentation leading to an early diagnosis and thus improving the overall mortality and morbidity of the patients.
