Abstract
We present the case of a 66-year-old patient with a biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer manifesting as an asymptomatic testicular metastasis. Two years after radical prostatectomy and salvage radiation, the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level rose to 1.07ng/ml. PSMA PET/CT scan showed tracer accumulation in the left testicle. Inguinal orchiectomy confirmed the metastasis. After being non-detectable, the PSA level increased five months after orchiectomy, with PSMA PET/CT revealing positive iliac lymph nodes. In summary, the presented case illustrates orchiectomy as a metastasectomy. However, apart from a transient decrease in PSA, no medium-term oncological advantage could be seen.
