Abstract:

Diffuse peritoneal and omental infiltration of prostate cancer detected by 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT was rarely reported. We report a case of an 80-year-old man who was suspected of prostate carcinoma metastasis and underwent 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT for restaging the disease. PET/CT imaging presented intense tracer uptake in the prostate gland, multiple lymph nodes, and bones. Interestingly, we found extremely increased radioactive uptake of diffuse peritoneum and omentum on 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT images, which are very rare metastatic sites for prostate cancer.

Positron Emission Tomography

Positron Emission Tomography

Positron emission tomography (PET) is a medical imaging technique involving radiopharmaceuticals — substances that emit short-lived radiation. Although the first PET scanner was introduced in 1961, it took 15 more years before radiopharmaceuticals were combined with the technique and revolutionized its potential.
One of the main requirements of a PET scan is a positron-emitting radioisotope, which is produced in a cyclotron and then attached to a substance used by the part of the body...
