Brain metastases in patient with prostate cancer found in 18F-choline PET/CT

Nucl Med Rev Cent East Eur. 2015;18(1):39-41. doi: 10.5603/NMR.2015.0010.

Abstract

Brain metastases are a rare complication of prostate cancer. They are usually diagnosed in an end-stage disease when the tumor has already spread to the other organs and tissues. We present a case of a male with castration-resistant prostate cancer with bone metastases visualized in ¹⁸F-fluorocholine PET/CT scan.
