Abstract:

An exceedingly rare case of a patient with osteogenesis imperfecta and prostate cancer is reported. The patient underwent radical prostatectomy, which had to be stopped due to the extremely narrow space for surgical manipulation. The clinical, diagnostic and operative peculiarities of the case are presented and the relevant literature reviewed.
