Computerized tomography has become the most widely applied staging technique in the assessment of retroperitoneal lymph nodes in patients with nonseminomatous testicular carcinoma. Errors in clinical staging of testicular carcinoma can have serious implications for the treatment afforded these patients. We describe a duplicated inferior vena cava that simulated retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy on abdominal computerized tomography in a patient with embryonal cell carcinoma of the testicle. The embryology and implications of anomalous lymphatic drainage of the testicle are discussed.
计算机断层扫描已成为评估非精原细胞瘤性睾丸癌患者腹膜后淋巴结时应用最广泛的分期技术。睾丸癌临床分期错误会对给予这些患者的治疗产生严重影响。我们描述了一名睾丸胚胎细胞癌患者，其下腔静脉重复畸形在腹部计算机断层扫描上模拟了腹膜后淋巴结病。本文还讨论了睾丸异常淋巴引流的胚胎学及意义。
