Tunika Vajinalis Metastazı ile Prezante Olan Okkult Hepatoid Tip Mide Kanseri: Olgu Sunumu

Paratestiküler metastazlar oldukça nadirdir. Bu alana olan metastazlar çoğunlukla bilinen kanserin ileri evreleri şeklinde izlenmekle birlikte nadiren de olsa primer testiküler tümörü taklit edebilir. Bu makalede, alfa feto-protein üreten hepatoid tip mide kanserinin, skrotal ağrı ve şişliğin eşlik ettiği tunika vaginalis metastazı şeklinde prezante olması sunulmaktadır.

Anahtar Kelimeler:

alfa feto-protein, hepatoid tip mide kanseri, tunika vajinalis

Metastasis to The Tunica Vaginalis as an İnitial Manifestation of Occult Hepatoid Type Gastric Cancer: A Case Report

Paratesticular metastases are extremely rare. Metastases in this area usually appear in the advanced stages of a known malignancy, but are sometimes the first manifestation, mimicking a primary testicular tumor. In this article, we present a patient with metastasis to the right tunica vaginalis testis who had scrotal swelling and pain as the first manifestation of an alpha-fetoprotein (AFP)- producing hepatoid type gastric cancer.

Keywords:

alpha-fetoprotein, hepatoid type gastric adenocarcinoma, tunica vaginalis,
