Abstract

Prostate cancer synchronously or metachronously metastasizing to the testis is a rare finding. We herein report on the first case of a solitary testicular metastasis from an organ-confined prostate cancer, diagnosed 6 months after a radical prostatectomy, without evidence of previous or concomitant biochemical and local recurrence.
