Abstract:
An 84-year-old man with a history of prostate cancer, treated with radiotherapy, presented with an increase in PSA levels. F-choline PET/CT showed foci of increased choline uptake in L4 and L5 vertebrae, suggestive of bone metastases and another focus in the right cerebellopontine angle. A brain MRI revealed a focus of intense contrast enhancement in the same region, consistent with an acoustic neuroma.
