- Ultrasound guided fna’s were done on the prostate and enlarged lymph nodes and cytology is pending
- I suspect this is prostatic carcinoma with secondary prostatitis and mets to the inguinal lymph nodes. However, because his castration was done elsewhere and he has had tenesmus for years, I am wondering if the elliptoid masses could be retained testicles.
- What do you think?
