Spermatic cord metastasis from transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder

Urology. 1994 Apr;43(4):561-3. doi: 10.1016/0090-4295(94)90258-5.

Abstract

A case of transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder metastasizing to the spermatic cord is reported. This represents the only clinically recognized site of tumor recurrence in a man treated with radical cystoprostatectomy followed by four cycles of adjuvant cis-platinum/methotrexate/vinblastine (CMV) chemotherapy for Stage D1 disease (local pelvic lymph node involvement). The existing literature concerning metastatic tumors of the spermatic cord is reviewed.
