Case report: Synchronous prostate cancer and renal cell carcinoma with prostate cancer-origin metastases to adrenal and renal hilar lymph nodes.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Synchronous occurrence of prostate cancer (PCa) and renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is uncommon. RCC has a higher tendency to metastasize to the adrenal glands, renal hilar, and retroperitoneal lymph nodes compared to PCa. To date, there are no documented cases existing where metastatic tumors in these regions, observed in patients concurrently with PCa and RCC, have originated from the PCa rather than the RCC.

Case presentation

In this case report, we described a 67-year-old male presented with dysuria for two months and left lower extremity edema for three days. Percutaneous biopsies revealed synchronous primary RCC and PCa. However, the origin of the metastatic tumors, especially those involving the adrenal glands, renal hilum, and retroperitoneal regions, remained
