ABSTRACT
The spironolactone is a diuretic of potassium savings. It is also used in the treatment of the hirsutism for its antiandrogenic action. Its use and its effects on the patients affected by a prostate cancer are less known. We report the case of a 72-year-old man having a cancer of prostate which normalized its PSA after institution of a treatment by spironolactone for ascites. This patient had a biological recurrence of a prostate cancer, arisen 7 years later after a treatment by hormonal radiotherapy. Nine months after the implementation of the treatment by spironolactone, there were no clinical and biological signs of disease progress.
