Testicular tumor
metastasis from transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the
ureter
is very rare. Herein, we report a case who presented with a palpable mass of left testis, after he underwent radical nephroureterectomy and bladder cuff excision and adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy for the TCC of left
ureter
tumor for 5 months. We performed left radical orchiectomy and histology revealed a TCC identical to the original ureteral tumor. In a review of the literature, we found this case was the second case of metastatic testicular tumor from the ureteral TCC. In patients presenting the symptom of a palpable testicular mass, if they are known to have a ureteral TCC, metastatic neoplasm should be considered in the differential diagnosis, even if in the absence of other systemic metastasis.
