Metastasis to the testis is rare. A 79-year-old man presented with obstructive symptoms to the urology clinic. With elevated prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels biopsy from the prostate was diagnosed as adenocarcinoma. Bilateral orchiectomy was performed for therapeutic purposes and a tumor with an adenocarcinoma morphology was detected. The tumor cells were positive with PSA. We wish to discuss the rare entity of the testis with clinical and pathologic findings.
