Prostate cancer is among the most common cancers in males worldwide. Those diagnosed may undergo a variety of treatments ranging from radiation to surgery to chemotherapy and hormonal therapy. Although clinicians often encounter metastases in bones and lymph nodes, there are instances where the spread occurs to more unconventional sites. Here, we document a peculiar scenario involving a 76-year-old individual who had undergone prior treatment for prostate adenocarcinoma. This patient manifested symptomatic metastases specifically in the right testis and a lymph node, without evident widespread disease that might initially suggest a primary testicular tumor. This case report underscores the importance of contemplating the potential for metastatic disease in the differential diagnosis when assessing patients with a history of prostate cancer and a newly discovered mass. This consideration should persist until a whole evaluation of the tissue is conducted.
