title: [Metastasis of the epididymis disclosing cancer of the prostate. Apropos of a case].
abstract: The authors present a patient who had prostatic carcinoma metastatic to the epididymis. The patient was asymptomatic except for painless swelling in the right epididymis. The laboratory radiographic and physical examination of the patient were normal. The prostate was clearly demarcated, homogeneous and solid. Surgery was performed in two stages. In the first stage semi-castration was performed. Histopathological analysis of the biopsy material showed prostatic carcinoma metastatic to the epididymis. There were no metastases in the testis. In the second stage, TUR of the prostate was performed. To our knowledge prostatic carcinoma metastatic to the epididymis has not been described previously.
