“…Types of surgery that can facilitate this spread include previous testicular surgery and manipulation such as orchidopexy, trans-scrotal biopsy, varicocelectomy and hydrocoele repair [7] . Tumour extension into the epididymis, vas deferens or scrotal wall may also Testicular Seminoma and Abnormal PET Scan be a rare cause [8] . The patient described in this report had two scrotal surgical procedures carried out prior to his diagnosis, resulting in probable disruption of lymphatic drainage from his right testicle.…”

A 43 year old gentleman presented with a three week history of painless right testicular swelling. He denied any systemic symptoms and was otherwise well. Testicular ultrasound revealed a solid right epididymal mass, concerning for malignancy. Tumour markers (including human chorionic gonadotrophin, alpha fetoprotein and lactate dehydrogenase) were normal. A staging CT scan revealed pathological right external iliac and right inguinal lymphadenopathy. A positron emission tomography (PET) scan showed a flurodeoxyglucose (FDG)-avid right external iliac lymph node, two FDG-avid lymph nodes in the inguinal region, the largest measuring 2.1 cm, and an FDG-avid left inguinal lymph node. There were no other pelvic nodes seen. Figure 1:-Post operative staging PET scan. (A) 3 cm FDG-avid right external iliac lymph node (B) Two FDG-avid lymph nodes in the right inguinal region, the largest measuring at 2.1 cm (C) 1.8 cm FDG-avid left inguinal lymph node
