Metachronous metastasis to the spermatic cord from renal cell carcinoma presenting as a high scrotal mass: a case report

Cancer Imaging. 2011 Nov 26;11(1):163-5. doi: 10.1102/1470-7330.2011.0029.

Abstract

Primary malignant lesions and metastatic carcinomas of the spermatic cord are extremely rare. We present the case of a 57-year-old man, who presented with a painless palpable mass in the left high scrotal area 36 months after radical nephrectomy. The patient had received chemotherapy because of disseminated metastases. There was no sign of local recurrence after 3-month follow-up.
