Deskripsi
Introduction. Treatment evidence for malignancies metastatic to the prostate in young patients is scarce. Herein, we present a case of prostatic metastasis from testicular cancer treated with induction chemotherapy followed by robot-assisted radical prostatectomy. Case Presentation. The patient is a 34-year-old male who underwent radical orchiectomy for a left testicular tumor two years ago and was diagnosed with a mixed germ cell tumor. He was followed up without adjuvant therapy, but symptoms of dysuria lead to suspicion of a prostate tumor, which was diagnosed by prostate biopsy as seminoma of the prostate. After four cycles of chemotherapy, normalization of tumor markers, and tumor shrinkage on imaging, he underwent robot-assisted radical prostatectomy. No recurrence has been observed nine months after treatment. Conclusion. In men with a history of testicular cancer presenting with lower urinary tract symptoms, it is important to consider recurrent prostate metastases.
