Secondary testicular tumors.
A review of 3,474 consecutive autopsies on adult men showed that 337 men had died of cancer, and 2 of them presented with testicular metastases from a pancreatic carcinoma and a urinary bladder carcinoma, respectively. In addition, of 32 men with prostatic carcinoma whose testes were removed, 1 man presented with testicular metastases from the tumor, and of 216 patients (children and adults) with neuroblastoma, 2 children showed metastases to the testes.
