Abstract

Metachronous metastasis to testis from a renal cell carcinoma is rare, with only a fewcases described so far in the literature. We here describe a case of a fifty five years old gentlemanwho underwent left radical nephrectomy for left renal cell carcinoma and after a disease free intervalof two years , presented with left testicular swelling. As he had no evidence of disease elsewhere andhis serum markers (for testicular tumour) were also normal, he underwent Chevassus procedure , and was detected to have metastatic involvement of left testis from a renal cell carcinoma.
