Abstract:

Objective: Present the rare presentation of metastatic melanoma to testicle presenting as scrotal swelling. Case Report: We present the case of an 85-year-old male with a previous diagnosis of non-metastatic melanoma who presented with several months of scrotal swelling. Results: Histopathologic evaluation of testicular mass confirmed the presence of metastatic melanoma of the testis. Conclusion: Though rare, malignant melanoma to the testicle should remain in the differential diagnosis in patients presenting with testicular masses or scrotal swelling, especially if their past medical history is positive for cutaneous melanoma.
