Abstract

Abstract: Bilateral testicular involvement in prostate cancer is quite rare. It is often associated with widespread systemic disease and inadequate response to systemic therapy. We present a case of metastatic prostate cancer with bilateral testicular metastases and simultaneous involvement of the left spermatic cord detected on 68 Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT and confirmed on the histopathology of bilateral orchiectomy done for achieving the androgen deprivation status. Early detection of such unusual sites of metastases has poorer prognostic outcome and management implications.

68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT 检测到前列腺癌同时转移累及双侧睾丸和左侧精索

摘要：前列腺癌双侧睾丸受累的情况非常罕见。双侧睾丸受累通常与广泛的全身性疾病和对全身治疗反应不佳有关。我们报告了一例转移性前列腺癌患者，68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT 检测到双侧睾丸转移，同时左侧精索也受累，为达到雄激素剥夺状态而进行的双侧睾丸切除术的组织病理学检查也证实了这一点。早期发现此类异常部位的转移瘤预后较差，对治疗也有影响。
