Prostatic metastasis from testicular cancer is extremely rare, with only 10 reported cases, all of which were diagnosed as relapse. Herein, we report the case of a patient with concurrent testicular cancer and prostatic metastasis.
A 57-year-old man presented at our emergency department with urinary retention. A painless mass was found in the right scrotum, and computed tomography showed lung, mediastinal, and liver metastases, and an enlarged prostate. Tumor markers were measured in 2057 U/L lactate dehydrogenase, 2460 mIU/mL human chorionic gonadotrophin, 1303 ng/mL alpha-fetoprotein, and 1.51 ng/mL prostate specific antigen. An orchiectomy and biopsy were performed; the pathological results showed immature teratomas, embryonal carcinomas, choriocarcinomas, and seminomas in the testis, and embryonal carcinomas in the prostate, liver, and mediastinum. The patient refused chemotherapy and died 3 months following diagnosis.
Prostatic metastasis should be considered in cases of dysuria or prostate enlargement in testicular cancers.
睾丸癌发生前列腺转移极为罕见,仅有10例报道,所有病例均被诊断为复发。在此,我们报告一例同时患有睾丸癌和前列腺转移的患者。
一名57岁男性因尿潴留就诊于我院急诊科。右侧阴囊发现无痛性肿块,计算机断层扫描显示肺部、纵隔和肝脏转移,以及前列腺肿大。检测肿瘤标志物,乳酸脱氢酶为2057 U/L,人绒毛膜促性腺激素为2460 mIU/mL,甲胎蛋白为1303 ng/mL,前列腺特异性抗原为1.51 ng/mL。进行了睾丸切除术和活检;病理结果显示睾丸中有未成熟畸胎瘤、胚胎癌、绒毛膜癌和精原细胞瘤,前列腺、肝脏和纵隔中有胚胎癌。患者拒绝化疗,诊断后3个月死亡。
睾丸癌患者出现排尿困难或前列腺肿大时应考虑前列腺转移。
