Abstract

A 67-year-old man with a swollen right testicle also had dry cough for 3 months. Computed tomography of the chest showed multiple calcified lung nodules and lymph nodes in the hilum. FDG PET/CT revealed elevated FDG activity not only in the right testicle mass but also calcified thoracic lesions. Histologic examination after testicle biopsy demonstrated primary testicular papillary serous carcinoma.
