“…These functions may make invasion and proliferation of metastatic tumor cells difficult. Furthermore, there are two case reports of testicular metastasis of SCC from the lung [8, 9]. Hence, it is important to determine whether the tumor is a primary tumor and other neoplasms should be excluded.…”

A 50-year-old Japanese man with a two-year history of a painless right scrotal mass visited our hospital. Considering laboratory findings and computed tomography, the patient was diagnosed with an uncharacteristic testicular tumor. No metastases were present on radiographic study at the first visit. Emergent high radical orchiectomy was performed, and the tumor was identified as a squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of a testicular epidermal cyst. He is alive without recurrence or metastasis six months after surgery. Testicular SCC is an extremely rare tumor. This is the third case of testicular SCC associated with an epidermal cyst in English literature.

“…In most cases, this occurs as a metastasis from the primary cell tumors of the lung, pelvis, or genitals, usually observed in elderly patients. 2,3 In young patients, the most frequent tumors for this localization are germinal cell tumors. It is necessary to exclude teratoma with a somatic malignancy.…”

A rare case of squamous cell carcinoma of the paratesticular tissues Submit Manuscript | http://medcraveonline.com Patient G., who was 27 years old, had no previous medical history, and had swelling in the left testicle for the previous 6 months visited our center. He had not undergone any treatment previously. During the previous 1.5 months, the tumor in his left testicle had started to increase in size, and he was admitted urgently to the neurology department with pain in the left lumbar region. Fine-needle multifocal biopsy of the left testis was performed, and the pathological reports showed aplastic cells of a malignant tumor, while cytological examination demonstrated embryonic cancer.He was admitted to the urology unit of an oncological institution for further diagnostic procedures and treatment. Computer tomography showed lesions in S2 and S6 of the right lung as well as in S1-2 and S10 of the left lung. Few foci up to 4 mm and enlarged paraortal lymph nodes up to 27×23mm were observed (Figure 1) (Figure 2). According to the ultrasonographic examination of the scrotum: the right testicle and epididymis had no pathology; the left testicle was 57×41mm in size. There was isoechoic formation (48×37mm), heterogeneous structure due to the hypoechoic areas with fuzzy contours. Under the tunics, a moderate amount of liquid with a finedispersed suspension was determined; in the projection of the tail of the epididymis, there was an echogenic formation (26×23mm) with heterogeneous fine-dispersed contents (Figure 3). The patient's fertility status was assessed: blood tests showed that the levels of luteinizing hormone, follicle stimulating hormone, testosterone, and oncomarkers (alpha-fetoprotein [AFP], lactate dehydrogenase [LDH], and β human chorionic gonadotropin [β-hCG]) were normal. Spermography showed normospermia.

“…In a large retrospective study of 738 autopsies of adult males with solid malignancies, only 5 (0.68%) were shown to have testicular metastases [ 6 ]. Its incidence among all testicular tumors varies between 0.8 and 2.3% [ 3 ]. Patel et al [ 5 ] reported 209 cases of testicular metastases that were primarily identified from an autopsy series and prostate cancer cases from patients who underwent orchiectomy for hormonal therapy.…”

“…Gonadal stromal tumors derived from cells that play a role in the development and maturation of sperm comprise approximately 5% of testicular tumors [ 2 ]. With the exception of lymphoma and leukemia cases, testicular metastases are extremely rare, and the majority of testicular neoplasms are primary tumors [ 3 ]. The most frequent primary site that metastasizes to the testes is the prostate followed by lung [ 4 ].…”

Testicular Metastasis in a Case of Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Lung

et al. 2015

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.
