Abstract

Prostatic adenocarcinoma is the second most commonly diagnosed malignancy in males following lung cancer. It commonly metastasizes to bone . Prostate cancer metastasizing to testis is rare, and commonly detected as an incidental finding in orchidectomy specimen . Skin metastasis is exceptionally rare presentation and seen in cases of advanced prostate cancers. Here, we report a case of prostatic adenocarcinoma presenting with metastatic deposits in skin and incidentally found metastatic deposits in left testis , found during examination of bilateral orchidectomy specimen performed for hormonal management of advanced prostate cancer . The prostatic origin of metastasis was confirmed by immunohistochemical staining for NKX3.1 , a nuclear marker specific for prostate epithelium.
