Abstract
Testicular metastasis presenting as a testicular mass
is an extremely rare condition. There are only nine
previously reported cases where testicular mass was
the first clinical manifestation of underlying
malignancy. Here we report a case of metastatic mucin
secreting adenocarcinoma in testis presenting as a
testicular mass with unknown primary. We have given
a brief review of literature about the spread of tumor
to testes.
