Primary testicular lymphoma (PTL) a relatively rare disease of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas occurring with a lesser incidence of 1-2% has a propensity to occur at later ages above 50 years. PTL spreads to extra nodal sites due to deficiency of extra cellular adhesion molecules. We present detection of multiple sites of extra nodal involvement of PTL by F-18 positron emission tomography/computed tomography study aiding early detection of the dissemination thus aiding in staging and management.
原发性睾丸淋巴瘤(PTL)是非霍奇金淋巴瘤中一种相对罕见的疾病,发病率较低,为1%-2%,倾向于在50岁以上的老年发病。由于细胞外黏附分子缺乏,PTL会扩散至结外部位。我们通过F-18正电子发射断层扫描/计算机断层扫描研究呈现了PTL结外受累多部位的检测情况,有助于早期发现播散,从而有助于分期和治疗。
