Isolated Bilateral Adrenal Metastasis in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer: A Case Report and Literature Review

Prostate cancer frequently metastasizes to regional lymph nodes and bones, but metastasis to the adrenal glands remains rare, particularly in isolation. This case report presents an unusual instance of bilateral adrenal metastasis in a patient with castration-resistant prostate cancer. This case emphasizes the clinical relevance of adrenal metastasis in castration-resistant prostate cancer, highlighting the potential role of aggressive treatment strategies such as metastasectomy in isolated adrenal involvement, aiming to contribute to the limited literature on this rare metastatic pattern. Further studies are warranted to explore the therapeutic impact of adrenalectomy in similar cases, potentially enhancing progression-free survival in selected patients.

Abstract

Prostate cancer frequently metastasizes to regional lymph nodes and bones, but metastasis to the adrenal glands remains rare, particularly in isolation. This case report presents an unusual instance of bilateral adrenal metastasis in a patient with castration-resistant prostate cancer. This case emphasizes the clinical relevance of adrenal metastasis in castration-resistant prostate cancer, highlighting the potential role of aggressive treatment strategies such as metastasectomy in isolated adrenal involvement, aiming to contribute to the limited literature on this rare metastatic pattern. Further studies are warranted to explore the therapeutic impact of adrenalectomy in similar cases, potentially enhancing progression-free survival in selected patients.
