Herein we analyze retrospectively 21 patients with stage D prostatic adenocarcinoma admitted to our hospital during the period from January 1980 through December 1985. Of the 40 patients who had prostatic adenocarcinoma, 21 (50%) patients were classified as stage D. The presenting symptoms were prostatism (10), urinary retention (6), gross hematuria (2), lumbago (2) and pathologic bone fracture (1). Of the 21 patients, 15 (71%,) patients had elevated enzymatic acid phosphatase levels and 7 patients had distant metastases. Stage D prostatic carcinoma was subclassified as stage D
