Abstract

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.

18F-FDG PET/CT初诊时显示睾丸受累的多发性骨髓瘤。

摘要：髓外受累是多发性骨髓瘤（MM）的一种罕见表现，而睾丸受累则更为罕见。睾丸受累预后不良，必须进行睾丸切除术才能明确诊断。尽管18F-FDG PET/CT因其能够检测多发性骨髓瘤的髓外受累和评估治疗反应而闻名，但尚未有报道称初诊时18F-FDG PET/CT显示多发性骨髓瘤的睾丸受累。在此，我们介绍了一例罕见的初诊时睾丸受累的 MM 病例。
