Second primary tumors are being increasingly detected owing to and in proportion to the use of advanced imaging modalities including PET/CT. Patients suffering from prostate cancer have been reported to have increased second primary cancers of gastrointestinal tract, urinary bladder, and thyroid. We herein describe incidental detection of thyroid carcinoma, in 2 patients of mCRPC (metastatic castration-resistant prostate carcinoma) undergoing preradioligand therapy workup, on 68 Ga-prostate-specific membrane antigen PET/CT initially, subsequently also observed on multitracer PET/CT ( 64 CuCl 2 and 18 F-FDG). Thus, the potential of PET/CT for early in vivo second primary detection in mCRPC setting is illustrated in the aforementioned 2 patients.
