Abstract:
Ureal metastases (although an uncommon site of metastatic involvement) are seen with primary tumours of the lung and breast and, very rarely, in other primary tumours. Undescended testis predisposes to malignancy. We present a rare case of choroidal metastasis from a non-seminomatous germ cell tumour arising in an undescended testis, and describe its clinical, ultrasound and MRI findings together with a relevant review of the literature.

Metastasis
Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition
The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition or EMT is a developmental process commonly observed in wound healing, embryogenesis, and cancer metastasis. EMT is induced by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) or receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) ligands, which further...
Spermatogenesis
The process of spermatogenesis can be divided into mitosis, meiosis, and spermiogenesis. During mitosis, the spermatogonia or stem cells divide to produce two identical daughter cells, type A and B spermatogonia. Type-A...
