Abstract:
Metastatic tumors of the spermatic cord are rare. In the majority of cases the primary tumor occurs in the gastrointestinal tract, with metastasis to the spermatic cord by retrograde lymphatic flow, or direct invasion of tumor cells through the peritoneal cavity. The possibility of metastasis or recurrence of prior malignancies should be considered when a palpable tumor is identified in the scrotum or spermatic cord. Here, we document a case of gastric cancer involving metastasis to the spermatic cord.
