Metastasis to The Tunica Vaginalis as an İnitial Manifestation of Occult Hepatoid Type Gastric Cancer: A Case Report
Abstract
Paratesticular metastases are extremely rare. Metastases in this area usually appear in the advanced stages of a known malignancy, but are sometimes the first manifestation, mimicking a primary testicular tumor. In this article, we present a patient with metastasis to the right tunica vaginalis testis who had scrotal swelling and pain as the first manifestation of an alpha-fetoprotein (AFP)- producing hepatoid type gastric cancer.
