ABSTRACT
Ten cases of metastatic carcinomas to the testis are recorded in the last 17 years from Tata Memorial Hospital (TMH). There were two from kidney and four each from prostate and gastrointestinal tract carcinomas. The age of the patients ranged from 40 to 82 years with a mean of 57 years. The disease was unilateral in eight cases and bilateral in two. The testicular mass preceded the symptomatology of the primary lesion in a single case. The disease was an incidental finding in three prostatic carcinomas, where bilateral orchidectomy was performed as a therapeutic procedure. Hydrocele was associated in three cases. Grossly the tumour deposits were nodular or diffuse. Microscopically involvement of the interstitial parenchyma, with sparing of the tubular structures of the testis, epididymis and retetestis and special stains for mucin were helpful in the diagnosis. Lymphatic emboli were present in six cases and vascular emboli in three. The spermatic cord was involved in two cases.
