Prostate Cancer (PCa) is a disease that primarily affects men older than 65 years of age. Early-onset PCa has been defined as PCa diagnosed ≤ 55 years. There is scarce information on patients with prostate adenocarcinoma under 40 years, with approximately 25 published cases as of today. We present a case of prostate adenocarcinoma in a 39-year-old Puerto Rican male. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of a Hispanic male with prostate adenocarcinoma under 40 years of age.
