Malignant melanoma revealed by testicular metastasi.

We report the case of an 83 years old man supported for painless indurated and nodular lesion of the left testicle. Histological analysis identified a primary cutaneous melanoma metastasis although it has never been found on physical examination. The discovery of a testicular mass should suggest fir...

description We report the case of an 83 years old man supported for painless indurated and nodular lesion of the left testicle. Histological analysis identified a primary cutaneous melanoma metastasis although it has never been found on physical examination. The discovery of a testicular mass should suggest first a germ cell tumor, despite in some populations (age over 60 years), other diagnosis are more frequent, including metastasis. Due to rapid disease progression and high mortality rate within a short interval, a complete staging looking for other secondary locations must be done and a multidisciplinary care and palliative involvement must also be initiated in the context of metastatic melanoma.
