(18)F-FDG PET/CT Findings of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Involving the Whole Genitourinary System

A sixty-two-year-old male patient underwent orchiectomy and was diagnosed with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma in the testicle and spermatic cord. (18)F-FDG positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scanning was performed for initial staging. (18)F-FDG PET/CT scan revealed multiple hyp...

description A sixty-two-year-old male patient underwent orchiectomy and was diagnosed with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma in the testicle and spermatic cord. (18)F-FDG positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scanning was performed for initial staging. (18)F-FDG PET/CT scan revealed multiple hyper-metabolic lymphadenopathies, lung lesions and mass lesions in the adrenal glands and kidneys. In addition, diffuse increased (18)F-FDG uptake suggesting lymphomatous infiltration on the right testicle, prostate and left testicular veins were detected. The genitourinary system involvement is extremely rare in extra-nodal lymphomas and to the best of our knowledge this is the first case in the literature having (18)F-FDG accumulating lesions in all genitourinary system structures.
