Interesting image. Incidental diagnosis of prostate cancer by F-18 FDG PET/CT.

摘要

A 67-year-old man underwent whole-body F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) for lymphoma screening. The results demonstrated no evidence of lymphoma recurrence, but a focal increased uptake of F-18 FDG in the prostate. There was no history of urinary symptoms. A biopsy diagnosed a prostatic adenocarcinoma. Incidentally, focal intense FDG uptake in the prostate gland should always require further investigations to confirm the presence of prostate cancer.
