Testicular Metastasis: Uncommon Prostate Cancer Case Report

Introduction: Prostate cancer is the second most frequent neoplasm in men, and despite being frequently diagnosed, testicular metastases are rarely described. Objective: to report a case of prostate cancer with testicular metastasis in a patient with more than 15 years of follow-up. Case Report: Caucasian male patient diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2003 and bone metastasis in 2005. After years of follow-up and hormonal treatment, evolved with urinary retention. He underwent transvesical prostatectomy and bilateral orchiectomy. The anatomopathological examination indicated metastatic adenocarcinoma in the right testis. Conclusion: This case demonstrates that prostate cancer can metastasize to rare sites, such as the testis. The presence of these reports helps clinical practice and adds to the literature, encouraging further studies on diagnostic approaches and treatment.
