Testicular metastasis from renal cell carcinoma is very rare. Herein we report a case of left-side renal cell carcinoma initially diagnosed to be clinically stage II, which developed left-side testicular metastases 2 months following radical nephrectomy. High inguinal orchiectomy was carried out. The patient was asymptomatic 2 months later. Although renal vein involvement in renal cell carcinoma is common and its extension into inferior vena cava well documented, tumour invasion of spermatic veins is rare.
肾细胞癌的睾丸转移非常罕见。在此我们报告一例左侧肾细胞癌,最初诊断为临床II期,在根治性肾切除术后2个月出现左侧睾丸转移。进行了高位腹股沟睾丸切除术。2个月后患者无症状。虽然肾细胞癌累及肾静脉很常见,且其延伸至下腔静脉也有充分记录,但肿瘤侵犯精索静脉却很罕见。
