Abstract

Ewing’s sarcoma is a rare form of bone cancer that can also affect soft tissues. In some cases, it can spread to other parts of the body, including the testicles, causing testicular metastases. To our knowledge, no testicular metastasis of Ewing’s sarcoma has been reported in the literature. We report an original case of an 18-year-old patient who presented with bilateral testicular masses revealing an exceptional metastasis of metastatic bone Ewing sarcoma under chemotherapy for one year. It was difficult to diagnose synchronous bilateral testicular metastases of Ewing’s sarcoma due to the low frequency of these metastases. However, given the history of metastatic cancer, the data from the clinical examination, and the results of ultrasound, it should be considered and included in the differential diagnosis. Despite the uncommon occurrence of secondary testicular metastasis, it should be considered in the differential diagnosis when encountering such a clinical presentation.

尤文氏肉瘤异常的睾丸转移定位:病例报告
尤文氏肉瘤是一种罕见的骨癌,也可影响软组织。在某些情况下,它可以扩散到身体的其他部位,包括睾丸,造成睾丸转移。据我们所知,文献中还没有关于尤文氏肉瘤睾丸转移的报道。我们报告了一例 18 岁患者的原始病例,该患者在接受化疗一年后出现双侧睾丸肿块,显示出转移性骨尤文肉瘤的特殊转移。由于尤文氏肉瘤双侧睾丸同步转移的发生率较低,因此很难诊断出这种转移。然而,考虑到患者的转移癌病史、临床检查数据和超声检查结果,应将其考虑并纳入鉴别诊断。尽管继发性睾丸转移并不常见,但在遇到此类临床表现时仍应将其纳入鉴别诊断。
