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.
