Article Synopsis
  • A 51-year-old man was diagnosed with small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the prostate and underwent staging with 18 F-DCFPyL PET/CT, revealing a single metastasis in his left acetabulum.
  • A follow-up 18 F-FDG PET/CT scan showed high activity in the prostate and widespread cancer spread to pelvic and thoracic lymph nodes, along with the previously identified acetabular metastatic site.
  • Despite an initial positive response to treatment, an 8-month follow-up PET scan indicated significant worsening of nodal disease and the emergence of additional metastases.

An 83-year-old man was referred for an 18 F-DCFPyL PET scan for the evaluation of rising serum prostate-specific antigen level on the background of previous radical prostatectomy for prostate adenocarcinoma and urinary outflow tract obstruction requiring in-dwelling catheter insertion. The PET scan demonstrated focal increased activity (SUV max , 35.7) at the dorsal aspect of the mid penile shaft, with histopathological confirmation of penile metastasis from primary prostate cancer.

A 64-year-old man with recently diagnosed prostate adenocarcinoma and Gleason score 4 + 3 = 7 with a mildly elevated prostate-specific antigen of 5.17 μg/L was referred for 18 F-DCFPyL PET/CT for primary staging. The scan demonstrated incidental innumerable moderately avid subcutaneous nodules due to adiposis dolorosa (Dercum's disease), which is a rare adipose tissue disease.
