title: Metachronous renal cell carcinoma metastases to spermatic cord and penis.
abstract: Metastasis of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) to the penis or spermatic cord is rare. We present an unusual case of initial metastasis to the cord with delayed involvement of the penis. This is the first report of metachronous involvement of the genitalia from RCC metastases.
