“…Usually, the prognosis for patients with metastases to the spermatic cord is poor due to the mere presence of metastatic disease [73]. The primary tumor usually occurs in the gastrointestinal tract [73]. Metastases to the spermatic cord of tumors such as renal adenocarcinoma [1] and pancreatic adenocarcinoma [74,75] have also been described in the literature.…”

In this article, we discuss benign and malignant spermatic cord tumors.We attempted to compile this rare group of diseases by reviewing the international literature.Tumors of the spermatic cord are found very rarely. However, it is important to be aware of their occurrence, as they can cause a protrusion in the inguinal area. They are usually misdiagnosed as an inguinal hernia.The most common tumors in this area are benign -usually they are lipomas. In 20-70% of cases, adipose tumors accompany an inguinal hernia. Therefore, they should be kept in mind whenever a patient presents with symptoms of herniation in the inguinal region. Tumors of the spermatic cord may also involve the scrotum and manifest themselves as testicular hydrocele. Such a tumor is, for example, aggressive angiomyxoma. It is a locally malignant tumor that tends to infiltrate and compress the surrounding tissues but does not tend to give metastasis, therefore according to the WHO classification it is a benign tumor.However, malignant tumors such as rhabdomyosarcoma, which is the most common malignant neoplasm of testicular appendages, can also be located in the spermatic cord. The second most common soft tissue sarcoma is leiomyosarcoma, with poor initial prognosis, or metastases of malignant tumors from other organs, e.g. renal adenocarcinoma.As the prognosis for malignant tumors of the spermatic cord is generally dependent on the stage at the time of diagnosis, oncological vigilance and early diagnosis allow for faster detection of these tumors, which may improve the prognosis of patients with tumors in this location.

“…We conducted a literature search on PubMed regarding cases of colorectal cancer metastasizing to the adjacent testicular tissues and identified several relevant reports. This phenomenon is predominantly observed in elderly males, with mucinous adenocarcinoma being the primary histological type (2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7). Herein, we present a case involving a young male patient who presented with scrotal effusion as the initial symptom.…”

Colorectal cancer, with the liver being the most common site of distant metastasis, followed by the lungs and bones. Although reports of metastasis to the testis exist, paratesticular metastasis is extremely rare. A 37-year-old male presented with scrotal swelling. Ultrasound revealed hydrocele of the tunica vaginalis. The patient underwent routine surgical treatment, and postoperative pathology of the tunica vaginalis indicated adenocarcinoma of gastrointestinal origin. Colonoscopic biopsy confirmed adenocarcinoma of the sigmoid colon. After six months of systemic therapy, tumor reduction surgery was performed in conjunction with tunica vaginalis excision. Postoperative pathology suggested histological similarity in both sites, with immunohistochemistry results supporting the diagnosis of sigmoid colon adenocarcinoma metastasizing to the tunica vaginalis. We conducted a literature review, summarizing and discussing clinical presentations, metastatic pathways, and diagnostic approaches.
