Biopsy of undescended testis mimicking a metastatic inguinal lymph node – Ouch, it hurts! Lesion: A case report
This case highlights the potential for misdiagnosis of an undescended testis as an inguinal metastatic lymph node due to physiological FDG uptake. Awareness of key imaging and clinical features, such as testicular mobility, relative isoechogenicity, and pain during biopsy, can help prevent unnecessary procedures and ensure an accurate diagnosis.
