Urothelial muscle-invasive bladder carcinoma has a high probability of producing metastases, and does so most frequently to the lung, bone, and liver. Urothelial bladder carcinoma metastases to the testes are rare. The primary tumors that metastasize to the testes are leukemia, prostate cancer, lung cancer, melanoma, and gastrointestinal tumors. We present herein a case of asynchronous metastasis of urothelial carcinoma to the right testis. Testicular metastases should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a gonadal mass, when there is a history of muscle-invasive bladder cancer.
