    Abstract

    A case of adenocarcinoma of the sigmoid colon, presenting as a testicular mass, is described. At sigmoid colectomy widespread metastases were found and only palliative care could be offered thereafter. The incidence and age of such a presentation and manner of spread of the occult primary are discussed.
