One hundred and one patients with Stage I teratoma of the testis have had an abdomino-pelvic computed tomography (CT) scan. These patients have been followed up for a minimum of 18 months and only eight patients have relapsed in the abdomen alone. The abdomino-pelvic CT scan has a negative predictive value of 92%. In those shown by CT to have retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy, the distribution of disease correlates closely with that reported in the literature following retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy. The CT scan provides information about the amount of tumour present and this influences treatment. Computed tomography is the imaging modality of choice for staging patients with teratoma of the testis and invasive techniques do not appear to be justified.
101例睾丸I期畸胎瘤患者接受了腹盆腔计算机断层扫描（CT）。这些患者至少随访了18个月，仅有8例患者仅在腹部复发。腹盆腔CT扫描的阴性预测值为92%。在CT显示有腹膜后淋巴结病的患者中，疾病分布与腹膜后淋巴结清扫术后文献报道的情况密切相关。CT扫描可提供有关肿瘤量的信息，这会影响治疗。计算机断层扫描是睾丸畸胎瘤患者分期的首选成像方式，侵入性技术似乎并无必要。
