Abstract

A 53-year-old man presented with weakness, loss of weight, pain in upper and lower extremities, and back pain. He had an intermittent abscess like discharge from a left hemi scrotal lesion. Thoraco abdomino pelvic computerized tomography revealed diffuse, multiple and hypodense lesions in the liver parenchyma. Bone scan showed multi metastatic disease of the bone. Complete resection of the scrotal lesion was performed. In histopathological examination, apocrine adenocarcinoma was diagnosed.
