Testicular metastasis of colon cancer masquerading a hydrocele of testis

A case of testicular metastasis of colon cancer, which clinically mimicked a hydrocele of the testis, is presented. Imaging study suggested a scrotal hydrocele, but slow yet gradual enlargement of the hydrocele and the past history of colon cancer prompted an orchiectomy for the pathologic diagnosis...

description A case of testicular metastasis of colon cancer, which clinically mimicked a hydrocele of the testis, is presented. Imaging study suggested a scrotal hydrocele, but slow yet gradual enlargement of the hydrocele and the past history of colon cancer prompted an orchiectomy for the pathologic diagnosis and treatment. The pathologic diagnosis was testicular metastasis of colon cancer. Testicular metastasis presenting as a hydrocele is unusual, and imaging and macroscopic findings useful for the differential diagnoses are discussed. A brief review of pertinent literature is also included.
