  • Title: [Bilateral isolated infiltration in the epididymis and sperm cord as first sign of chronic lymphatic leukemia].
    Author: Pérez García FJ, Fernández Gómez JM, Martín Huéscar A, Sahagún Argüello JL, Rábade Rey CJ, Rodríguez Martínez JJ, Pérez del Río MJ.
    Journal: Arch Esp Urol; 1997 Mar; 50(2):199-201. PubMed ID: 9206950.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: Involvement of extralymphatic tissue in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is uncommon and that of the epididymis and spermatic cord is rare. This paper describes an unusual case with metastasis to both epididymis and the spermatic cord as the first sign of reactivation of CLL. METHODS/RESULTS: A patient with CLL is described. The first sign of disease progression was the involvement of both epididymis and the spermatic cord. The literature on tumors of the epididymis and spermatic cord and CLL is briefly reviewed. CONCLUSION: Metastatic tumors of the epididymis and spermatic cord are rare. The importance of the pathological findings in making the diagnosis is underscored.
