Abstract

Prostate cancer is one of the most frequent cancers in males and commonly a disease of the older population, but it is increasingly seen among older adolescents and young adults. The common sites of metastasis of prostatic carcinoma are bones and regional lymph nodes. Testicular metastasis from prostatic carcinoma is an infrequent presentation. We report a case of a young patient with prostatic carcinoma and multiple metastases, including bilateral testis. A 40-year-old male presented with lower urinary tract voiding symptoms and back pain for three months. His prostate-specific antigen level was elevated at 13.98 ng/ml. A magnetic resonance imaging of the prostate revealed two PIRADS V lesions and metastases in multiple bones and regional lymph nodes. On follow up, the patient complained of bilateral testicular swelling and ultrasound scan of the testes revealed bilateral testicular metastasis. Fine needle aspiration cytology of right-side testicular lesion revealed malignant cells compatible with metastasis from prostate cancer. Later involvement of multilevel vertebral and skull metastases was identified by magnetic resonance imaging. A T(3b)N(1)M1(c) staging of prostate cancer was made, androgen deprivation therapy followed by chemo and radiotherapy was instituted, following extensive discussion with the patient. Unfortunately the patient succumbed to the illness during the course of treatment. This case report is of a patient with rare presentation of bilateral testicular metastasis with prostate cancer in young age.
