Testicular metastasis of carcinoma is a rare condition. We report a rare case of right testicular metastasis of prostatic adenocarcinoma in an 84 years old patient, after more than 20 years of controlled disease under androgen deprivation therapy. Follow-up consisted in PSA monitoring, clinical examination, CT and bone scan. Biological recurrence, right testicular mass and finally right total orchiectomy allowed the diagnosis of a right testicular metastasis. PSA monitoring and clinical surveillance are important tools for diagnosing metastatic localisations.

Purpose Of Review: The evidence for a standardized approach to the management of cervical metastasis from a distant primary tumour is limited. The objective of this review is to provide an overview of the current status of research in this field and to present the latest diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.
Recent Findings: Although infraclavicular tumours are typically observed to metastasise to levels IV and V of the neck, all levels may potentially be affected.

Introduction And Importance: Retiform hemangioendothelioma(RH) is a rare vascular tumor affecting patients over a wide age range without a gender predilection; only about 50 cases have been described so far.
Case Presentation: We report a case of submandibular retiform hemangioendothelioma in a 58-year-old woman who had been diagnosed with RH 20 years ago and had experienced recurrence four times during the past 20 years. This will increase the limited number of such cases in the hope of gaining a better understanding of this rare type of tumor.

Background: To evaluate the association of demographic and clinicopathological characteristics with the survival of patients with testicular mixed teratoma and seminoma (TMTS).
Methods: The data of 3296 eligible patients with TMTS who underwent surgery between 2010 and 2015 were obtained from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database. Overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) were determined using the Kaplan-Meier survival curves.
Non-Invasive miRNA Profiling for Differential Diagnosis and Prognostic Stratification of Testicular Germ Cell Tumors.

Background/objectives: Testicular germ cell tumors (TGCT) are common in young adult men and have high cure rates. Conventional serum tumor markers and imaging are not able to differentiate between histologic subtypes of the disease, which portend different prognoses and require distinct therapeutic strategies. Micro-RNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding transcripts involved in the post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression, which have emerged as promising biomarkers in a variety of tumors.

To test for rates of inpatient palliative care (IPC) in metastatic testicular cancer patients receiving critical care therapy (CCT). Within the Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) database (2008-2019), we tabulated IPC rates in metastatic testicular cancer patients receiving CCT, namely invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV), percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube (PEG), dialysis for acute kidney failure (AKF), total parenteral nutrition (TPN) or tracheostomy. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression models addressing IPC were fitted.
