Renal cell carcinoma presenting as a testicular mass
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 6
Abstract
The usual sites of metastases from Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) are lung, bone and lymph nodes. RCC metastasizing to the testis is very unusual, with only anecdotal case reports in literature. Here we present a rare scenario where a man presented with only a painless enlargement of left testis and no other complaints. Further workup revealed a synchronous left sided renal cell carcinoma. The salient points in the management of this case and the relevant literature is discussed. Keywords: kidney, clear cell carcinoma, testicular tumor, metastasis.
