Androgen insensitivity syndrome CT
Introduction
Overview
Overview
Findings of seminoma are observed by FDG PET/CT in androgen insensitivity syndrome. Detection of sertoli-Leydig cell tumor accidentally is by FDG-PET/CT imaging.

CT
- FDG-PET/CT findings are observed of seminoma in androgen insensitivity syndrome.[1]
- PET images showed focal FDG uptake in the left pelvic sidewall, and a hypodense lesion with calcifications was noted in the corresponding CT images.
- Another smaller hypodense lesion with calcifications was noted in the right pelvic sidewall, but faint FDG uptake.
- Detection of sertoli-Leydig cell tumor accidentally is by FDG-PET/CT imaging. An F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose PET study, and a pathologically increased FDG uptake at the left lower abdomen was detected corresponding to a solid, cystic lesion on CT images. [2]
