Metastatic carcinomas to the testes are rare with prostate adenocarcinoma being the most common. Reported cases of metastatic carcinoma to the testes are usually associated with metastasis to other sites. Metastasis to the testis alone without associated secondaries to other sites can occur and so far, few cases have been reported globally. Due to the rarity of such presentation and the need for proper evaluation of orchiectomy specimens for prostatic adenocarcinoma, we report a case of an 84-year-old with isolated metastasis to the left testes. This was discovered incidentally the following orchiectomy as a form of hormonal therapy for prostatic adenocarcinoma.
睾丸转移性癌罕见，前列腺腺癌最为常见。报道的睾丸转移性癌病例通常伴有其他部位转移。单独转移至睾丸而无其他部位继发性转移的情况可能发生，迄今为止，全球报道的此类病例很少。由于这种表现罕见，且需要对前列腺腺癌的睾丸切除标本进行恰当评估，我们报告一例84岁男性孤立性左睾丸转移病例。该病例是在因前列腺腺癌进行激素治疗而实施睾丸切除术后偶然发现的。
