Abstract

Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System version 2 (PI-RADS v2) identifies prostate cancer on the basis of multiparametric MRI (mpMRI). As an assessment tool, it correctly predicts clinically significant cancer in the vast majority of cases. In this light, we report a rare patient, for whom a PI-RADS 5 lesion vanished over the course of 13 months.
