To report a new case of adenoid cystic carcinoma of the prostate. We evaluated clinical presentation, diagnosis, treatment and evolution of a 68-year-old patient with an adenoid cystic carcinoma of the prostate. The patient did not receive any of the treatments suggested by our department, having a favourable outcome for 28 months; after this period he presented abdominal metastases which where surgically excised. Adjuvant radiotherapy was indicated. The adenoid cystic carcinoma is a rare tumor. The treatment of choice of these patients is radical prostatectomy and close follow-up.
