Mechanisms of gastric metastasis have been suggested through different pathways.Case presentation: In this study, we present a case in which a patient presented with painless swelling of the testicles and penis. The main way is the stomach. As far as we know, this is the first report of a scrotal and penile metastasis from gastric adenocarcinoma in Iran. At the time of diagnosis, these metastases had not yet been diagnosed with gastric cancer.Conclusions: Therefore, gastric tumors can metastasize to the genital area through lymphatic vessels in a reversible pathway. However, Proper imaging studies can identify early sites.}, keywords = {Gastric adenocarcinoma,Scrotum,Lymphedema,Swelling}, url = {http://www.transresurology.com/article_135911.html}, eprint = {http://www.transresurology.com/article_135911_ba58b9e797df347431980e9945528049.pdf} }
