Testicular cancer is the most common solid tumor in young adult males. Radical inguinal orchidectomy is the gold standard for the diagnosis and treatment of testicular cancer, which is confined to the scrotum and is generally well tolerated. An uncommon, but known, complication of radical orchidectomy is scrotal hematoma. Scrotal hematoma from radical orchidectomy is commonly self-limited and typically self-resolving. We present a rare case of metastatic testicular malignancy diagnosed with radical inguinal orchidectomy complicated by a rapidly enlarging scrotal hematoma, successfully treated with surgical evacuation and image-guided arterial embolization.
