Abstract

Two cases of epididymotesticular metastases are reported: one epididymal from a carcinoma of the kidney by retrograde venous spread and the other testicular secondary to a carcinoma of the prostate and apparently by arterial spread. Epididymotesticular metastases of carcinomas are rare. When the initial carcinoma is known, or even treated, the development of a large testis should lead to consideration of the possibility. Treatment should consist of inguinal orchidectomy with ligation of the spermatic cord as high as possible.
