Bilateral Testicular Metastases of Adenoid Cystic Variant of Carcinoma of Prostate
Journal Title: People's Journal of Scientific Research. - Year 2014, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
Prostate cancer is the second most frequently diagnosed cancer in men (13.6%) and the fifth most common cancer globally. Common sites of prostate carcinoma metastasis other than lymph nodes, include bones, lungs, urinary bladder, liver and adrenal glands. Rarely, a testicular mass, whether painful or painless, represents a metastasis. Metastasis in testes accounts for 0.06-2.5%. Bilateral testicular metastasis is less common and occurs in about 15% of cases. We report a case of prostatic adenocarcinoma in a 65 year male with metastasis to both testes identified upon histopathological examination of therapeutic orchidectomy specimen. Unusual adenoid cystic pattern seen in the metastatic deposits is highlighted. Bilateral metastasis is extremely rare and few are reported in literature.
