AI Article Synopsis
- Extramedullary involvement in multiple myeloma (MM) is uncommon, with testicular involvement being even rarer and linked to a poor prognosis.
- Orchiectomy is essential for confirming the diagnosis in cases with testicular involvement.
- This report discusses a rare case where testicular involvement of MM was detected using 18 F-FDG PET/CT at the initial diagnosis, a situation not previously documented.
Article Abstract
Extramedullary involvement is a rare presentation of multiple myeloma (MM), and testicular involvement is even rarer. Testicular involvement associated with poor prognosis and orchiectomy is necessary for definitive diagnosis. Although 18 F-FDG PET/CT is well-known for its ability to detect extramedullary involvement and assess treatment response in MM, testicular involvement of MM on 18 F-FDG PET/CT at initial diagnosis has not yet been reported. Herein, we present a rare case of MM with testicular involvement at initial diagnosis.
