Primary testicular non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (PTNHL) with contiguous involvement of the spermatic cord is a rare occurrence and presentation of the disease, and it mostly involves elderly men between the sixth and eighth decades of life. PTNHL is a rare form of primary testicular malignancy that accounts for 1% of all non-Hodgkin's lymphoma cases and 5-10% of all testicular malignancies. This case report discusses a 73-year-old man who presented with right-sided inguinoscrotal swelling for six months, which had progressively increased in size. The patient was referred to the surgical department, and the examination revealed a hard-palpable mass with thickening of the cord. The initial imaging included an ultrasound, demonstrating a heteroechoic mass inseparable from the right testis with evidence of mild increased internal vascularity. Due to the high suspicion of malignancy, a right orchidectomy was performed. The patient subsequently developed another swelling after seven months, over the right inguinal region, which had progressively increased in size. MRI of the pelvis and CT of the abdomen and chest revealed a lobulated, intermediate intense lesion in the right inguinoscrotal region. This case report demonstrates the importance of radiological imaging in assessing and detecting the characteristics of concomitant lesions by using various imaging modalities and assessing the extent of spread. In addition, radiological imaging helps in the early diagnosis of the disease and facilitates prompt and early treatment to achieve favorable outcomes for the patient. The radiologist should include a differential diagnosis of PTNHL when imaging for a painless inguinoscrotal mass.

Primary extranodal lymphomatous involvement of the genitourinary tract is rare and secondary extranodal involvement in disseminated disease occurs more frequently. Imaging of metabolic activity with 2-(fluorine-18) fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose (FDG) used in PET facilitates the identification of these extranodal sites of disease, particularly in the absence of structural lesions on conventional imaging modalities. Primary extranodal lymphoma affecting the genitourinary system is often caused by high-grade Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL) with the most common subtype being diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Although rare, the incidence of extranodal lymphoproliferative disease is increasing and a delay in diagnosis holds a poor prognosis. Familiarity with benign and physiological causes of FDG uptake, particularly due to the urinary tracer excretion is crucial in identifying sites of lymphomatous involvement in the genitourinary system. Additionally, non-lymphomatous malignancies are usually treated surgically, whereas lymphoma is primarily treated with chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy. Therefore, accurate identification and staging together with histological confirmation significantly impacts management of these patients. This article serves to review and illustrate the imaging findings on FDG-PET/CT of primary extranodal lymphoma affecting the genitourinary system.
