摘要
A 79-year-old man with prostate cancer (PCa) was referred to our center to perform a [C-11]Choline PET/CT for biochemical recurrence. Positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scan detected PCa recurrence in the prostate gland and several pelvic and abdominal lymph nodes. Two abnormal uptakes were also identified in the right breast and in the liver, respectively. Breast histological findings turned out to be gynecomastia, while the liver lesion resulted in a benign perfusion anomaly at follow-up magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Although incidental findings were benign in this case, it is important to always investigate abnormal uptakes of [C-11]Choline, as it could be an expression of further metastases or synchronous malignancies such as breast cancer and hepatocellular carcinoma.
