A 66-year-old man with local prostate adenocarcinoma underwent radical prostatectomy (Gleason score 3 + 4 = 7, pT2c) in 2016. Four years later, he presented with a hydrocele and cystic atypical change in the left scrotum and soft tissue in the left groin. Final histopathology revealed spermatic cord mesothelioma and left hemangiosis carcinomatosa. A bone biopsy of the sacrum revealed infiltrates of a prostatic adenocarcinoma with small cell neuroendocrine differentiation. Dual-tracer PET/CT imaging using 18F-FDG and 68Ga-PSMA was able to identify local recurrence of scrotal mesothelioma and differentiate metastases of prostate cancer from malignant mesothelioma.
