Although prostate cancer can metastasize to any part of the body, isolated testicular metastasis is very rare and only few cases have been reported so far. Here we present a case of 65-year-old male patient, known case of prostate adenocarcinoma, referred for Ga-PSMA PET/CT scan, post radiotherapy, and androgen deprivation therapy, for rising serum PSA levels. He was found to have an isolated testicular metastasis on the scan. This report highlights the importance of Ga-PSMA PET-CT scan in detecting these unusual and rare sites of metastasis from prostate cancer.
尽管前列腺癌可转移至身体的任何部位,但孤立性睾丸转移非常罕见,迄今为止仅有少数病例报道。在此,我们报告一例65岁男性患者,已知患有前列腺腺癌,因血清PSA水平升高,在放疗及雄激素剥夺治疗后接受Ga-PSMA PET/CT扫描。扫描发现他存在孤立性睾丸转移。本报告强调了Ga-PSMA PET-CT扫描在检测前列腺癌这些不寻常且罕见转移部位方面的重要性。
