[Rare tumor of the epididymis].
A 51-year-old man with known ethyl toxic chronic pancreatitis presented with a tumor of the left epididymis. Immunohistological examination disclosed it as a metastasis of a pancreatic carcinoma. Paratesticular metastases of a pancreatic carcinoma are very rare. Nevertheless a metastasis of a primary pancreatic carcinoma should be included in the differential diagnosis of a tumor of the paratesticular tissue. The epididymis should be integrated in the diagnostic procedures of pancreatic carcinoma.
