Abstract:
We present a case of squamous cell carcinoma of the testis that metastasized from lung cancer. The patient, who had received left pneumonectomy 2 years earlier for squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the lung, developed pulmonary metastasis, which was treated with chemotherapy. Although the recurrence regressed after treatment, the testicular tumor progressed gradually. Left radical orchiectomy was performed. Pathological examination revealed metastatic SCC. Testicular metastasis from lung cancer is a very rare disease.
