Abstract
The Northern Israel Cancer Center serves 1 million inhabitants. Between 1968 and 1982, 33 patients with a diagnosis of nonseminomatous tumors of the testis were referred to this center. Of these patients inguinal lymph node metastasis developed in 4, each of whom had had risk factors for such metastasis. Two patients had undergone previous orchiopexy, and 2 had extension of the tumor to the epididymis and the tunica vaginalis testis. The inguinal region should be examined and watched carefully in patients with testicular tumor, especially those at high risk for inguinal metastases. Today, disease in patients with inguinal metastasis is curable by lymph node dissection and/or combination chemotherapy.
