Abstract:
The testicular tumor metastatic spread via the lymphatic system, and the anatomical distribution of this, finds his target in the retroperitoneal nodes. Male patient 28 years old with a history of bilateral orchidopexy is presented. It was performed a left orchiectomy and a biopsy of the ulcerated right inguinal mass, with diagnosis of malignant teratoma. Metastatic testicular tumors in inguinal nodes are extremely rare. However, we believe that in patients with a history of scrotal surgeries and inguinal mass, must suspect for a testicular cancer.
