We report a case of high-grade serous papillary carcinoma of the tunica vaginalis, treated with radical orchiectomy and hemi-scrotectomy after being referred for a rapidly growing painless scrotal mass. In addition to negative testicular tumor markers, scrotal ultrasound, and conventional computerized tomography (CT) scanning, this patient's workup included a positron emission tomography (PET) scan using F-18-fluoro-deoxyglucose (FDG), demonstrating metabolically avid uptake of the disease. This patient is completing ongoing close follow up and is currently disease free at nine months post definitive treatment. | URI: | https://ahro.austin.org.au/austinjspui/handle/1/21410 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.eucr.2019.100949 | ORCID: | 0000-0002-7882-5155 | Journal: | Urology case reports | PubMed URL: | 31304093 | ISSN: | 2214-4420 | Type: | Journal Article | Subjects: | FDG-PET Serous carcinoma Testicular cancer Tunica vaginalis |
