Solitary metastasis of prostatic adenocarcinoma to the testicle detected by⁶⁸Ga-prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography/computed tomography

Testicular metastasis in prostate cancer: A rare case of testicular metastasis diagnosed with 68Ga-PSMA and review of the literature

“…9 Since it is a new technique, the number of cases in which testicular metastasis is detected with 68 Ga-PSMA in prostate cancer is limited. [10][11][12][13][14][15][16] Literature review via PubMed, MEDLINE and Embase database was carried out, and nine published cases published in English were identified between 2017 and August 2021 (Table 1). Of these reports, eight were treated with primary radical prostatectomy, and one with radiotherapy and hormone therapy.…”

Oligometastasis to testis in prostate cancer: Role of gallium-68 prostate-specific membrane antigen positron-emission tomography computed tomography

“…On literature search, we identified four cases of testicular oligometastasis reported on 68 Ga-PSMA PET/CT scan. [ 4 5 6 7 ] All these cases identified testicular metastasis following biochemical relapse. In one of our cases, testicular metastasis was also diagnosed at staging workup.…”

Testicular Metastasis From Prostate Cancer Demonstrated on PSMA PET/CT

“…Testicle metastases of prostate cancer are also scarcely reported in radiology literature, and most are incidentally detected on histopathology after therapeutic orchiectomy for androgen deprivation. There are only a few case reports of testicle metastases from prostate cancer detected on imaging 3–8 . The diagnosis of testicular metastasis is challenging because of the lack of clinical symptoms in the majority of cases 4–9 .…”

“…There are only a few case reports of testicle metastases from prostate cancer detected on imaging. [3][4][5][6][7][8] The diagnosis of testicular metastasis is challenging because of the lack of clinical symptoms in the majority of cases. [4][5][6][7][8][9] The most common manifestation of testicular metastasis from prostate cancer is a painless testicular mass.…”

“…[3][4][5][6][7][8] The diagnosis of testicular metastasis is challenging because of the lack of clinical symptoms in the majority of cases. [4][5][6][7][8][9] The most common manifestation of testicular metastasis from prostate cancer is a painless testicular mass. 10 However, it is important to note that detection of testicular metastasis of prostate cancer renders a poor prognosis with a mean survival of 12.8 months.…”
