Mimics of metastases from testicular tumours.
This paper presents 10 patients with a diagnosis of testicular tumour in whom computed tomography (CT) at staging or follow-up demonstrated abnormalities which mimic the appearance of metastatic testicular tumour. The entities mimicking metastases were sarcoidosis, mushroom worker's lung, lymphoma and phaeochromocytoma. Representative examples of these lesions are illustrated and features which may enable the radiologist to differentiate them from metastatic testicular tumour are discussed.
