Clin Nucl Med. 2022 Mar 1;47(3):e313-e314. doi: 10.1097/RLU.0000000000004044.

Abstract

Incidental PET radiotracer uptake is not infrequently encountered in PET/CT imaging. We present the 18F-fluciclovine PET/CT of a 60-year-old man undergoing evaluation of biochemically recurrent prostate cancer with incidental radiotracer uptake in the thoracic spinal canal, which was proven to be a World Health Organization grade I spinal meningioma on surgical pathology. 18F-fluciclovine and 18F-FDG PET/CT images of a 60-year-old man with biochemically recurrent prostate cancer prostate cancer with a prostate-specific antigen of 14.4 ng/mL, 7 years after primary external beam radiation followed by a prostate-specific antigen nadir of 1.6 ng/mL, are presented.
