Introduction Needle‐track seeding of prostate cancer into the rectal wall following transrectal prostate biopsy is exceedingly rare. We report a case of mucinous prostate cancer recurrence in the rectal wall due to biopsy needle seeding, discovered after robot‐assisted radical prostatectomy. Case presentation A 67‐year‐old man underwent robot‐assisted radical prostatectomy for mucinous prostate cancer (clinical stage T2cN0M0, Gleason score of 4 + 4, and initial prostate‐specific antigen level of 8.8 ng/mL).
