摘要：
Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is an infrequent and aggressive neuroendocrine tumor of the skin. 18Ffluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) is an effective imaging technique with good diagnostic accuracy that may be used to help stage MCC and for detecting unexpected recurrences and distant metastatic disease. Other causes of testicular neoplasms, such as primary testicular tumors, lymphomas, or anaplastic small cell melanomas, are difficult to differentiate from MCC testicular metastases on imaging, and tumor markers and histopathology will help confirm it. The current case is a 65-year-old non-immunocompromised male with Merkel cell carcinoma who was incidentally identified with testicular metastases on PET/CT and confirmed on histopathology.
