ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To report a rare process and to stimulate clinicians and pathologists to have this possibility present in their diagnoses. METHODS: We report the case of an adult male with pain and swelling in the left inguinal region and increased volume of the homolateral testicle. CONCLUSIONS: It is appropriate to bear in mind the possibility of testicular metastasis of a primary unknown tumor in adult males since metastatic affectation can constitute the first manifestation of the disease.

OBJECTIVE: To reach information on a rare clinical finding secondary to on infrequent location of tumour dissemination in prostatic cancer. METHODS: We present a case of an adult male with ocular left proptosis and history of prostatic cancer. CONCLUSIONS: In adults males, the prostatic cancer should be born in mind in the differential diagnosis of the masses in orbital location.

OBJETIVO: Aportar información sobre un raro proceso y alentar a clínicos y patólogos para que tengan presente en sus diagnósticos esa posibilidad.MÉTODOS: Presentamos el caso de un varón adulto con dolor y tumefacción en región inguinal izquierda y aumento de volumen del testículo homolateral.CONCLUSIONES: Es conveniente en varones adultos tener presente la posibilidad de metástasis testicular de un tumor primario oculto ya que la afectación metastásica puede constituir la primera manifestación de la enfermedad(AU)

La larga supervivencia de pacientes diagnosticados de neoplasia maligna tras exitosos tratamientosha incrementado la aparición de segundas neoplasias. Presentamos un caso de unamujer de 74 años con un carcinoma ductal infiltrante de mama. Todos los ganglios linfáticos axilaresestaban ampliamente afectados por linfoma no Hodgkin, y 2 ganglios linfáticos mostraronmetástasis de carcinoma. El interés de nuestro caso radica en la coexistencia de ambos tumoresen los ganglios linfáticos axilares
The long survival of patients diagnosed with malignant neoplasm after successful treatmentshas increased the incidence of second neoplasms. We report a case of a 74-year-old womanwith an invasive ductal breast carcinoma. All axillary lymph nodes were extensively affected bynon-Hodgkins lymphoma, and two lymph nodes demonstrated metastatic carcinoma. The interestof our case resides in the coexistence of both tumors in the axillary lymph nodes
