He was born in rural Liberia and moved to Monrovia at the age of 9 before moving to the United Kingdom at 22 years of age. At the time of review, he was entirely well. He was under surveillance for previously treated Gleason’s grade 3 + 3 adenocarcinoma of the prostate, which had been treated with goserelin and radiotherapy. He had no history of abdominal pain, bowel disturbance, respiratory symptoms, skin lesions, or seizures.
