ABSTRACT
Gastric signet ring cell adenocarcinoma (SRCA) is an aggressive malignancy primarily diagnosed in advanced stages. Metastasis to other organ systems is uncommon, however, associated with poor prognosis. We present a young patient with persistent pain in the testicle. Histopathologic examination of the resected testicle revealed metastatic signet ring adenocarcinoma prompting follow-up endoscopy with biopsy confirming gastric SRCA. After 10 months of systemic chemotherapy, the patient developed worsening headaches, and cerebrospinal fluid cytology confirmed leptomeningeal metastasis. This case underscores the rare manifestation of SRCA and the importance of vigilance for atypical presentations to ensure timely diagnosis and management.
