BACKGROUND Prostatic adenocarcinoma is the most frequently diagnosed carcinoma in the male population; the most common sites of secondary lesions are nodes, bones, and lungs. We report the clinical case of a 58-year-old man presenting with a single metastasis in the left testis after a radical prostatectomy/lymphadenectomy for prostate cancer. CASE REPORT This clinical report focuses on a 58-year-old man with prostate cancer who developed an uncommon single metastasis in the left testis after radical surgery and adjuvant pelvic radiation therapy. CONCLUSIONS Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels are important in the follow-up of prostate cancer. At the same time, physical examination of all possible sites of metastasis and proper evaluation of all signs/symptoms are indispensable in the process of identifying recurrence and for the selection of patients undergoing adjuvant therapy.
前列腺腺癌是男性中最常被诊断出的癌症;继发性病变最常见的部位是淋巴结、骨骼和肺部。我们报告了一例58岁男性的临床病例,该患者在前列腺癌根治性前列腺切除术/淋巴结清扫术后出现左侧睾丸单发转移。病例报告:本临床报告聚焦于一名58岁的前列腺癌男性患者,其在根治性手术后及辅助盆腔放疗后出现了罕见的左侧睾丸单发转移。结论:前列腺特异性抗原(PSA)水平在前列腺癌的随访中很重要。同时,在识别复发过程中以及选择接受辅助治疗的患者时,对所有可能的转移部位进行体格检查以及对所有体征/症状进行恰当评估是必不可少的。
