Prostate carcinoma is the second most common cause of cancer related mortality in males in the United States. The pattern of metastatic disease of prostate cancer is well recognized, frequently involving sclerotic bone lesions and abdomino-pelvic lymph nodes. -1-amino-3-[F]fluorocyclobutane-1-carboxylic acid (-3-[F] FACBC) is a synthetic amino acid analog positron emission tomography (PET) radiotracer with reported utility in the detection of prostate carcinoma. We present two cases of unusual presentations of prostate carcinoma, one with malignant ascitis and omental implants and the other with lytic bone lesions detected with -3-[F]FACBC.
前列腺癌是美国男性癌症相关死亡的第二大常见原因。前列腺癌转移疾病的模式是众所周知的,常涉及硬化性骨病变和腹盆腔淋巴结。-1-氨基-3-[F]氟环丁烷-1-羧酸(-3-[F]FACBC)是一种合成氨基酸类似物正电子发射断层扫描(PET)放射性示踪剂,据报道可用于检测前列腺癌。我们报告了两例前列腺癌的不寻常表现,一例伴有恶性腹水和大网膜种植,另一例伴有 -3-[F]FACBC 检测到的溶骨性骨病变。
