| Popis: | Testicular metastases are a rare finding. Typically, a testicular metastasis will present as a complication of progressive disease or as a primary sign of malignancy. Excluding lymphoma and leukemia, prostate cancer is the most common primary site that metastasizes to the testes. Testicular metastases resulting from squamous cell carcinoma of the lung have rarely been reported in previous literature. Here, we report a case of stage IV squamous cell carcinoma of the lung with metastases to the brain and multiple bilateral lung lesions. Following palliative systemic chemotherapy, this patient was found to have a right testicular mass. Pathology reports confirmed that this was a testicular metastasis of squamous cell lung carcinoma origin. |
