Primary testicular lymphoma (PTL) is a form of extra-nodal lymphoma originating from the testicles. Currently, positron emission tomography (PET) with glucose analogue 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose ( 18 F-FDG) is the most popular and widely used modality for evaluating tumor metabolism, and PTL usually displays increased 18 F-FDG uptake. Despite the rapid increase in clinical applications of FDG PET/ computed tomography (CT), its role in PTL has neither been clearly defined nor reviewed systematically. This study reviews the usefulness and limitation of FDG PET/CT in the diagnosis and treatment of PTL.
