Abstract:
18F-Fluciclovine PET/CT has become a common diagnostic imaging study used in the evaluation of biochemical recurrence in prostate cancer since its approval in 2016. We present a case report of an 82-year-old man with history of both prostate and bladder cancer who presented for a fluciclovine study due to rising PSA levels. There was incidental detection of focal penile activity, and a subsequent urethral biopsy performed showed urothelial carcinoma, which was also seen on a subsequent MRI study.
