A – Gross view of the right orchidectomy showing a small nodular metastatic deposit in tunica albuginea from the prostate cancer; B, C and D are photomicrographs of the tumor and testicle parenchyma; B – shows normal testicular seminiferous tubules along with presence of metastatic tumor deposit in the wall of testis (Tunica albuginea) (H&E x100); C – These tumor cells are immunopositive for prostate specific antigen (PSA 40X); D – The tumor cells are also positive for Alpha-methylacyl-CoA racemase (AMACR 200X).
