We present a 74‐year‐old man with a testicular metastasis originating from a transitional cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder. Initially, radical cystectomy and ileal‐conduit urinary diversion were performed. Three years later, he presented with a tumor in the left testicle, proved to harbor transitional cell carcinoma.
