Urothelial carcinomas are the fourth most common tumors in men. Upper tract urinary carcinomas (UTUCs) are uncommon and represent only 5–10% of urothelial carcinomas.(1) Metastatic testicular cancers are rare and primary tumor sources are the prostate, lung, and gastrointestinal tract. We report the first case of testicular metastasis 2 years after initial curative surgery for a high-grade UTUC, all other reported cases weren't proceed by curative surgery.(3)
