Resumen
CONTRERAS IBANEZ, José Antonio; MURIEL CUETO, Pedro y BAEZ PEREA, José María. Testicular metastasis as first clinical expression of unknown origin malignant melanoma. Arch. Esp. Urol. [online]. 2009, vol.62, n.3, pp.223-226. ISSN 0004-0614.
Objective: To report a rare process and to stimulate clinicians and pathologists to have this possibility present in their diagnoses. Methods: We report the case of an adult male with pain and swelling in the left inguinal region and increased volume of the homolateral testicle. Conclusion: It is appropriate to bear in mind the possibility of testicular metastasis of a primary unknown tumor in adult males since metastatic affectation can constitute the first manifestation of the disease.
