title: Testicular metastasis from malignant schwannoma of chest wall.
abstract: Metastatic malignancy to the testes is unusual. Reports of testicular metastasis of neurogenic tumor are extremely rare. Only 28 cases with testicular metastasis of neurogenic tumor have been reported in the world literature. Cases of primary malignant schwannoma with testicular metastasis have not been reported previously. We present an unusual case of a thirty-seven-year-old man who had a malignant schwannoma of the chest wall with testicular metastasis.
