Abstract:
A 74-year-old man presenting with biochemical recurrent prostate cancer 9 months after robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy underwent 18F-fluciclovine PET/CT for restaging to determine subsequent treatment strategy. Serum prostate-specific antigen was 0.7 ng/mL at the time of imaging. Images demonstrated foci of abnormal increased 18F-fluciclovine uptake corresponding to prominent round lymph nodes in the left axilla, some of which with fatty hila. Due to recent mRNA COVID-19 vaccination in the ipsilateral arm and the low likelihood of nodal metastases to the axilla from prostate cancer in this patient, the lymph nodes were considered to be benign, reactive to the vaccine.

Secondary Lymphoid Organs
The spleen is a vital organ in the lymphatic system, nestled in the upper left side of the abdomen. It is composed of two primary regions: the red pulp and the white pulp, each having distinct functions. The red pulp performs a significant role in blood filtration. It efficiently purges the blood of old or damaged red blood cells and...
