The fact that a prostate carcinoma metastasizes to the skeleton is well known. The metastatic deposits are generally multiple and osteoblastic. Moreover, these involve the axial skeleton or the proximal part of long bones. A pure osteolytic metastasis from a prostate carcinoma is extremely rare. This is believed to be the 1st case report of a osteolytic solitary radial head metastasis from a prostate carcinoma in a 60-year-old male. The rare clinical presentation of wrist drop, the absence of metastases at any other site, and a significant decrease in the size of lesion on follow-up in response to hormonal therapy are of interest in this case. The rare clinical presentation of a common malignancy (prostate carcinoma) is reported with a brief review of the literature.

D008875	Middle Aged	An adult aged 45 - 64 years.	Middle Age
D009408	Nerve Compression Syndromes	Mechanical compression of nerves or nerve roots from internal or external causes. These may result in a conduction block to nerve impulses (due to MYELIN SHEATH dysfunction) or axonal loss. The nerve and nerve sheath injuries may be caused by ISCHEMIA; INFLAMMATION; or a direct mechanical effect.

D011468	Prostatectomy	Complete or partial surgical removal of the prostate. Three primary approaches are commonly employed: suprapubic - removal through an incision above the pubis and through the urinary bladder; retropubic - as for suprapubic but without entering the urinary bladder; and transurethral (TRANSURETHRAL RESECTION OF PROSTATE).

D011826	Radial Nerve	A major nerve of the upper extremity. In humans the fibers of the radial nerve originate in the lower cervical and upper thoracic spinal cord (usually C5 to T1), travel via the posterior cord of the brachial plexus, and supply motor innervation to extensor muscles of the arm and cutaneous sensory fibers to extensor regions of the arm and hand.
