✦ Synopsis

The staging of malignant disease for metastatic spread requires a sound understanding of the normal anatomy and possible anatomical variants as well as the expected pathology. This article illustrates this in the case of a young man with seminoma of the testis undergoing CT imaging to assess for para-aortic metastatic spread. A potential pitfall that may mislead the unwary is demonstrated.
