Prostatic cancer with metastasis to the testis

Metastatic cancer to the testis is a rare phenomenon of prostate carcinoma with only 80 cases reported in the literature. Most of these secondary testicular tumors were diagnosed on routine pathohistological examination of testicular tissue after orchiectomy. The metastatic lesion was not identified on physical examination or in macroscopic dissection of the testis after surgery. Microscopy revealed an adenocarcinoma with a positive immunohistochemical stain for prostate specific antigen (PSA), and it was identified as metastatic prostatic adenocarcinoma. We report a case with metastasis to the testis whose local or distant sites for relapse could not be demonstrated in hormone refractory prostate cancer patient with PSA progression. These findings showed that the testicles should be examined carefully in order to detect metastatic sites in hormone refractory prostate cancer patients.
