Uncommon: Never met a patient like this, although we don't usually check on them, either. However, i've never met someone who died of prostate cancer this young.

Very very rare: Primary cancer of the prostate is rarely ever diagnosed in anyone under the age of forty. While we do not screen these patients I have never read of a case of adenocarcinoma of the prostate in the teenage population.
