Spermatic cord metastasis from transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder.
A case of transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder metastasizing to the spermatic cord is reported. This represents the only clinically recognized site of tumor recurrence in a man treated with radical cystoprostatectomy followed by four cycles of adjuvant cis-platinum/methotrexate/vinblastine (CMV) chemotherapy for Stage D1 disease (local pelvic lymph node involvement). The existing literature concerning metastatic tumors of the spermatic cord is reviewed.
