Prostate cancer gave the American an Irish accent.

In the US, a 50-year-old man suddenly developed an Irish accent after being diagnosed with prostate cancer. This is the third known case of foreign accent syndrome due to cancer, and the first specifically due to this type of cancer. Usually, the disorder appears after a stroke or traumatic brain injury. In an American, the syndrome manifested itself 20 months after the diagnosis. At the same time, the man had never been to Ireland, like his immediate ancestors.
