Abstract

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a pediatric malignancy associated with remissions and relapses. Common relapsing sitesare meninges, testis and ovary. Testicular scintigraphy is a highly specific modality used mainly in the differential diagnosis of testicular torsion and epidydimitis/epidydimo-orchitis. There is only one interesting image on leukemic infiltration with scrotal scintigraphy in the literature. The aim of this case presentation is to report that although the scintigraphic appearance of testicular torsion was observed in a patient with the diagnosis of ALL, testicular ALL infiltration was revealed in pathologic examination.

Özet

Akut lenfoblastik lösemi (ALL), çocukluk çağında görülen, relaps ve remisyonlarla seyreden bir malignitedir. Relapsları sıklıkla meninksler, testis ve overlerde izlenir. Testis sintigrafisi, esas olarak epididimit/epididimoorşit ve testis torsiyonu ayırıcı tanısında kullanılan oldukça spesifik bir yöntemdir. Literatürde skrotal sintigrafide lösemik infiltrasyon ile ilgili sadece bir adet görüntü mevcuttur. Bu olgu sunumunda amacımız, ALL tanısı ile takip edilen hastada sintigrafik olarak testis torsiyonu görünümü olmasına rağmen, patolojik incelemede testiste ALL infiltrasyonu görüldüğünü bildirmektir.
