A 47-year-old male with a history of right sided orchidectomy for stage 1 seminoma 6 months previously, was referred for a FDG PET-CT scan for restaging of testicular cancer having experiencing left testicular discomfort. Abnormally increased glyoclytic metabolism of the left testis and the inferior scrotal sac was demonstrated on the initial FDG PET-CT study. Subsequent ultrasound showed subtle heterogeneous echotexture with mild hypervascularity and no focal lesion was identified. The patient was subsequently treated with antibiotics for a presumed diagnosis of orchitis. A progress FDG PET-CT study 2 months later confirmed the complete resolution of the increased glycolytic metabolism in the left testis and the inferior scrotal sac.
