Prostate cancer is so rare in young men that there are no statistics available for the disease incidence in men under 35. It's extremely rare in men under 50; over 80% of men diagnosed with it are over 65 and half of all cases occur in men over 75. I think the answer to your question must be no.

It's very rare, but the types of prostate or testicular cancer in the pediatric population is a sarcoma . . in the case of prostate it is usually a type of cancer called embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma although desmoplastic small round cell tumor can also occur in this age group. These are life threatening cancers so if you have any doubts than you should be seeing a doctor as soon as possible. http://www.springerlink.com/content/w3w6l6w270203073/ http://brighamrad.harvard.edu/Cases/bwh/hcache/165/full.html http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/120138468/abstract?CRETRY=1&SRETRY=0 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1943114
