Özet

Prostate adenocarcinoma (PCa) is the most frequently diagnosed malignancy in the male population, with the most common sites for secondary lesions being the lymph nodes, bones, and lungs. Testicular metastases from PCa are very rare and mostly identified incidentally after therapeutic orchiectomy for advanced PCa or during autopsy. Here we present a case involving a 64-year-old man with biochemical recurrence of castrated oligometastatic PCa that presented as solitary testicular metastasis on Ga-PSMA ligand positron emission tomography/computed tomography.
