Testicular metastasis from carcinoma of prostate.
Metastatic involvement of the testis from prostatic carcinoma is rare despite the high frequency of the primary tumor and its ability for wide dissemination. We report 2 cases discovered after therapeutic orchiectomy in patients with advanced disease. The clinical implications of this lesion and a review of the literature on secondary testicular tumors are presented.
