Coexistent Carcinomas



Known case of prostatic carcinoma with increased PSA levels and osteoblastic metastasis in the spine. Interestingly this patient also had para-aortic adenopathy and a testicular swelling. This could well represent metastatic lymphadenopathy but the question of coexistent prostatic and testicular carcinomas should be raised. The incidence of coexistent malignancies is high in the elderly.
