Metastasis of carcinoma to the testes is rare. A case of caecal carcinoma presenting as testicular hydrocele is reported. The possibility of secondary tumour should be considered when a testicular mass or hydrocele arises in a patient above the age for primary testes tumour and the clinical picture suggests involvement of other organs.
