In most cases, prostate carcinoma metastasizes into pelvic lymph nodes, and into skeleton; less frequently into lungs and liver. Testis metastasis is rare. The disease is usually unilateral and occurs by elderly males. Here we present a case history of a patient, where a prostate carcinoma metastasi-zing into a testis was one of the symptoms of the disease.
Keywords: Prostate carcinoma, testis metastasis, complications, infection.
