Metastases from bladder transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) to the testis are very rare. These are usually found on autopsy and occur in advanced or metastatic bladder cancers. More common, known primary tumors that metastasize to the testis include prostate, lungs, melanoma, gastro-intestinal tract and the kidney. We report a rare case of solitary and synchronous metastatic TCC of the bladder to the testis, discovered on histological examination. This case illustrates that metastatic neoplasm to uncommon sites should be considered in the differential diagnosis for patients with a history of advanced bladder TCC.

Malignancies can trigger an autoimmune response against the nervous system and manifest as paraneoplastic neurological syndromes (PNS). Initial symptoms of PNS may develop up to 5 years prior to the diagnosis of the underlying malignancy. We report a rare case of PNS associated with transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder in a 70-year-old male with a 6-month history of rapidly progressive symmetric sensory neuropathy. Peripheral neuropathy serological workup was unremarkable. A paraneoplastic neuropathy panel revealed anti-Hu autoantibodies. Further evaluation with a whole-body PET scan could not identify the primary malignancy, but it showed hypermetabolic hilar lymph nodes. An endobronchial ultrasound biopsy of the hilar lymph nodes was negative for cancer. The patient developed painless hematuria 2.5 years after the onset of the sensory neuropathy. Cystoscopy with biopsy revealed non-muscle-invasive transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder. Progression of the sensory neuropathy stopped after tumor resection. This case highlights the importance of a diligent and systematic approach to diagnose PNS. A relentless search is often required to detect PNS-associated occult malignancies.
