Seminoma: Unusual metastasis involving inguinal lymph node- Review of literature and a case report

چکیده
We report the case of inguinal Lymphadenopathy in a known and operated case of seminoma. While testicular tumour metastasise to retroperitoneal lymph nodes, metastasis to inguinal nodes is only possible when patient has previous history of testicular or scrotal surgeries. We review the literature to know the incidence of inguinal lymph node involvement in testicular malignancy and discuss possible routes along with metastases to this unusual site. During surgeries minimum handling of the testis and ligation of the spermatic cord up high up to the inguinal ring may reduce metastasis.
