“…In the literature review, we could find only two cases having metastasis to the epididymis and spermatic cord and seven cases having isolated spermatic cord metastasis from prostatic adenocarcinoma (Table 1) [6][7][8][9][10][11].…”

Despite the high incidence of secondaries to lymph nodes, bones, and lungs in carcinoma (CA) prostate, metastatic involvement of scrotal organs is rare and usually associated with a poor prognosis. Here, we report a case series of three cases of CA prostate with metastatic involvement of scrotal organs. All three patients had metastatic involvement of the spermatic cord, with involvement of epididymis in the first patient and testes in the third patient, revealed incidentally on orchiectomy. Two patients were also found to have coexisting lymphatic filariasis. To date as per the best of our knowledge, only one such case of CA prostate with metastasis to scrotal organs and associated filariasis has been reported. This highlights the need for histopathological evaluation of all orchiectomy specimens. Chronic infection and inflammation leading to lymphatic obstruction due to filariasis probably led to the unusual retrograde spread of the tumor.

“…2 In the case of metastatic carcinoma to the sper-matic cord, the primary tumor occurs mainly in the gastrointestinal and urogenital tract. 3,4 To our knowledge, we report the first case of spermatic cord metastasis from non-small cell carcinoma of the lung. In this case, the patient with an uneventful history admitted to our outpatient clinic with palpable and painful left inguinal mass and dyspnea.…”

Spermatic cord metastasis as an initial manifestation of non‐small cell carcinoma of the lung

Lung cancer is among the most common cancers which continue to be a major cause of death in the world and many present with distant metastasis in advanced stages precluding curative treatment. Herein, we report a 62-year-old male patient admitted to our hospital with complaint of a painful mass in his left inguinal region. Surprisingly, a chest radiograph revealed a mass in his left lung with ipsilateral pleural effusion. Thorough radiological and pathologic examinations he was confirmed to have a non-small cell lung cancer with only spermatic cord metastasis and unfortunately the patient died two weeks after admission.

“…[12] The most common primary site for spermatic cord metastasis is the gastrointestinal tract, pancreas, prostate, and kidneys. [23] There are few reports regarding spermatic cord metastasis in gastric,[4–7] colorectal cancer,[8–12] prostatic cancer,[13] and pancreatic adenocarcinoma. [2]…”
