A 79-year-old man with prostate cancer (PCa) was referred to our center to perform a [C]Choline PET/CT for biochemical recurrence. Positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scan detected PCa recurrence in the prostate gland and several pelvic and abdominal lymph nodes. Two abnormal uptakes were also identified in the right breast and in the liver, respectively. Breast histological findings turned out to be gynecomastia, while the liver lesion resulted in a benign perfusion anomaly at follow-up magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Although incidental findings were benign in this case, it is important to always investigate abnormal uptakes of [C]Choline, as it could be an expression of further metastases or synchronous malignancies such as breast cancer and hepatocellular carcinoma.

Introduction: Disseminated carcinomatosis of the bone marrow is caused by cancer metastasis to the bone marrow and is the diagnosis is very difficult by imaging.

Case Presentation: We report a 75-year-old male with disseminated carcinomatosis of the bone marrow from castration-resistant prostate cancer revealed by C-choline positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET/CT). Although he already received radiotherapy to the prostate, combined androgen blockade, enzalutamide and apalutamide, and external beam radiotherapy for the pelvic bone metastases, serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) value rapidly increased from 32 ng/mL to 104 ng/mL in recent 1 month.

To compare the diagnostic efficacy of C-choline PET/CT, neck ultrasonography, Tc-MIBI dual-phase planar scintigraphy, and Tc-MIBI SPECT/CT imaging in the diagnosis of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). We conducted a retrospective analysis of 32 patients with PHPT who visited the Nuclear Medicine Department of Jilin University China-Japan Union Hospital between January 2019 and December 2022. All patients underwent C-choline PET/CT, neck ultrasonography, Tc-MIBI dual-phase planar scintigraphy, and Tc-MIBI SPECT/CT examinations within two months before surgery.
