Summary

Epididymo-testicular metastasis arising from a colonic primary neoplasm is exceptionally rare. We present two cases, one where the ipsilateral intrascrotal metastasis was evidence of recurrence 3 years after colonic surgery, and the other where the contralateral epididymo-testicular metastasis was the initial presentation.
