摘要

背景:转移性前列腺腺癌是一种罕见病,有关这一主题的参考文献很少。我们报告了一例不寻常的前列腺癌转移病例,并对当代文献进行了回顾。此外,我们还讨论了该病例的发病机制和临床表现:一名 70 岁的患者因右阴囊疼痛入院。超声波检查显示睾丸增大,提示可能患有睾丸炎。既往病史显示曾患有前列腺腺癌。炎症血液化验结果正常。重要的是,PSA 为 3.3 纳克/毫升。阴囊正电子发射计算机断层扫描(PET)呈阳性,让人怀疑是复发。因此,他接受了右侧睾丸切除术:结论:虽然转移性前列腺腺癌很少见,但正确诊断至关重要,因为治疗方法也会随之改变。对主诉阴囊疼痛的患者需要进行准确检查。虽然这种症状最常见的原因是感染,但也应回顾患者的既往病史,以排除恶性肿瘤。

Testicular metastasis of prostate adenocarcinoma: the other side of orchiepididymitis.

Background: Metastatic prostate adenocarcinoma is a rare event and there are few references to this topic. We report an unusual case of prostate cancer metastasis and review of contemporary literature. Moreover, we discuss the pathogenesis and the clinical aspects of this event.

Case presentation: A 70-year-old patient was admitted to the hospital for right scrotal pain. The ultrasound examination described an increase in testicular size, suggesting the possibility of orchiepididymitis. Past medical history reported a previous prostate adenocarcinoma. Inflammatory blood tests were normal. Importantly, PSA was 3.3 ng/ml. PET scan positivity in the scrotum raised suspicion of a relapse. Therefore, he underwent right orchiectomy.

Conclusion: Although metastatic prostate adenocarcinoma is rare, a correct diagnosis is of paramount importance because the therapy changes accordingly. Patients who complain of scrotal pain need to be examined accurately. Although the most common cause behind this symptom is infectious, the patient's past medical history should be reviewed to exclude previous malignancies.
