Abstract: | We report a case of testicular metastasis from a colonic adenocarcinoma. The presentation of testicular metastasis, diagnosis, management, and possible modes of spread are reported. In addition to conventional investigations and histopathologic techniques, a molecular study of the testicular metastasis and colon primary, using microsatellite analysis, was performed to confirm the primary origin. Its potential uses are discussed.Presented at UroFair 2003, Singapore, February 14 to 16, 2003. |
