Introduction
We present a case of mucinous adenocarcinoma of the prostate with testicular and lung metastases following robot‐assisted radical prostatectomy, androgen deprivation therapy, and radiotherapy.
Case presentation
A 73‐year‐old man with a prostate‐specific antigen level of 4.3 ng/mL was diagnosed with prostate cancer. Following the robot‐assisted radical prostatectomy, the pathological diagnosis was mucinous adenocarcinoma of the prostate (pT3bpN0, Gleason score of 4 + 4). Salvage hormonal therapy and irradiation were performed after the prostatectomy. Enlargement of the left testis was noted, and 28 months after prostatectomy, computed tomography detected a left testicular tumor and nodular lesions in the bilateral lungs. The histopathological diagnosis of left high orchiectomy was metastasis of a mucinous adenocarcinoma of the prostate. Chemotherapy with docetaxel followed by cabazitaxel was initiated.
Conclusion
Mucinous prostate adenocarcinoma with distal metastases following prostatectomy has been managed for longer than 3 years with multiple treatments.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
