Two cases of metastatic tumors involving the testis are reported: one from an adenocarcinoma of the prostate and the other from an adenocarcinoma of the colon. The first was found incidentally in the orchiectomy specimen done for prostatic cancer while the other was noted clinically as a part of a widely disseminated disease. Although there are numerous pathways through which tumors may metastasize to the testis, the occurrence of testicular metastasis is extremely rare. The reason for this rarity remains unknown.
一例来自前列腺腺癌，另一例来自结肠腺癌。第一例是在因前列腺癌进行睾丸切除术时偶然发现的，而另一例是在临床上作为广泛播散性疾病的一部分被注意到的。尽管肿瘤转移至睾丸有多种途径，但睾丸转移的发生极为罕见。这种罕见性的原因尚不清楚。
