Abstract
A 47-year-old male with a history of right sided orchidectomy for stage 1 seminoma 6 months previously, was referred for a FDG PET-CT scan for restaging of testicular cancer having experiencing left testicular discomfort. Abnormally increased glyoclytic metabolism of the left testis and the inferior scrotal sac was demonstrated on the initial FDG PET-CT study. Subsequent ultrasound showed subtle heterogeneous echotexture with mild hypervascularity and no focal lesion was identified. The patient was subsequently treated with antibiotics for a presumed diagnosis of orchitis. A progress FDG PET-CT study 2 months later confirmed the complete resolution of the increased glycolytic metabolism in the left testis and the inferior scrotal sac. Conflict of interest:None declared.

Testicular cancer is a rare cancer in males that originates in the testicles. Initial diagnosis and staging utilises ultrasound and CT [1] with increasing use of PET/CT [2]. İlk FDG PET-BT çalışmasında sol testis ve skrotum inferiorunda anormal artmış glikolitik metabolizma olduğu gösterildi. İki ay sonra yapılan takip FDG PET-BT çalışması, sol testis ve skrotum inferiorunda izlenen artmış glikolitik metabolizmanın tamamen kaybolduğunu ortaya koydu.
