[Bilateral testicular metastasis of an adenocarcinoma of the prostate].
Secondary testicular tumors are very rare. Since 1935, approximately 200 cases have been documented in the international literature. Testicular metastases of prostatic carcinoma are reported more frequently and other common primary tumor sites are the lung, kidney, colon, stomach and other sites. A review of the literature revealed 43 cases originating from prostatic carcinoma with 4 bilateral cases. The authors add a rare case of bilateral metastasis to the testis originating from prostatic carcinoma. This patient had been treated by transurethral resection of the prostate and bilateral orchidectomy 24 months previously.
