Secondary testicular tumors are rare, we report a case of a solitary testicular metastasis of prostate cancer in 58-year-old man treated using hormonal therapy associated with radiotherapy.

The diagnosis confirmed by histologic examination includes routine microscopic and immunohistochemical findings, and therefore systemic treatment was required.
