Testicular metastasis of prostatic cancer.
Secondary testicular tumors are rare, we report a case of a solitary testicular metastasis of prostate cancer in 58-year-old man treated using hormonal therapy associated with radiotherapy. Ultrasound is the imaging modality of choice, but metastasis might be difficult to differentiate from primary tumors. The diagnosis confirmed by histologic examination includes routine microscopic and immunohistochemical findings, and therefore systemic treatment was required.
