A 71-year-old man was admitted with the complaint of painless tumor in the right inguinal region, one month after right hemicolectomy for cecal cancer. The tumor seemed to exist in the right spermatic cord, so right radical orchiectomy was done. A tumor was found in the right spermatic cord, but the right spermatic duct, right epididymis and right testicle were intact. Histopathological examination of the tumor revealed metastatic adenocarcinoma from the cecal cancer. Twenty cases of metastatic tumors of the spermatic cord from the gastrointestinal cancers have been reported in Japan including this case.
