Abstract

Metastasis of prostate adenocarcinoma to testis is an extremely rare occurrence. Orchiectomy is necessary to confirm histopathological diagnosis. Metastatic carcinoma of the prostate to the testis is a commonly accepted as a sign of disseminated disease. Systemic treatment are therefore required. We report a case of a 62-year-old patient who presented a prostatic carcinoma with a testicular metastasis.
