Prostate cancer is the most common malignancy and the second most common cause of cancer-associated mortality in males. Bone metastasis is frequent and generally multiple and osteoblastic. Presentation of a pure osteolytic and solitary metastasis from a prostate carcinoma is extremely rare. We report a case of prostate cancer in a 70-year-old man who presented with progressive severe right hip pain and stiffness with no urinary symptom. A whole-body bone scan revealed a solitary metastasis to the right hip. A prostate biopsy revealed prostate adenocarcinoma. We believe this is the first reported case of presentation of a solitary osteolytic bone metastasis in the pelvis from carcinoma of the prostate.
