A 65-year-old man diagnosed with adenocarcinoma of the prostate gland opted for hormonal manipulation and had bilateral orchiectomy. Histological evaluation showed tumour deposits in both epididymides. Despite the relatively common occurrence of adenocarcinoma of the prostate, epididymal metastasis is a rare occurrence. This case highlights the need for proper evaluation of the testes and para-testicular structures so that accurate staging of these tumours can be made.
一名65岁被诊断为前列腺腺癌的男性选择了激素治疗并接受了双侧睾丸切除术。组织学评估显示双侧附睾均有肿瘤沉积。尽管前列腺腺癌相对常见,但附睾转移却很少见。该病例强调了对睾丸及睾丸旁结构进行恰当评估的必要性,以便能够对这些肿瘤进行准确分期。
