Article Synopsis
- Disseminated carcinomatosis of the bone marrow is a complex condition caused by prostate cancer metastasizing to the bone marrow, which is often difficult to diagnose through imaging techniques.
- A case study of a 75-year-old man showed that despite treatment and increasing PSA levels, the diagnosis was made using a C-choline PET/CT scan that revealed diffuse uptake in the bone marrow, while a bone scan showed little abnormality.
- The patient's condition was confirmed through a biopsy and, despite starting docetaxel therapy, his PSA levels continued to rise, leading to his death four months after diagnosis, highlighting the aggressive nature of this metastatic cancer.
