Prostate cancer rarely metastasizes to the stomach and kidneys. We report a 73-year-old male with such spread, highlighting significant clinical challenges. Initially diagnosed via biopsy and imaging, he received hormone therapy and cytoreductive radical prostatectomy. Despite initial management, the cancer progressed to metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, with gastric and renal metastases confirmed by imaging and biopsy. This case emphasizes the need for awareness of rare metastatic sites, comprehensive diagnostic evaluations, and further research into these atypical metastases to improve patient outcomes and develop better treatment strategies for managing advanced prostate cancer effectively.
