We report the hybrid FDG PET/CT appearance of a biopsy-proven pancreatic metastasis from prostate cancer in a man with castrate-resistant metastatic disease. The common sites of metastases from prostate cancer are bone and locoregional lymph nodes. Pancreas is an atypical location of metastasis from prostate cancer. PET/CT in this case helped with the targeted pathologic confirmation to differentiate primary pancreatic tumor from an unusual metastasis from prostate cancer which in turn impacted the clinical management.
我们报告了一例经活检证实的前列腺癌胰腺转移的混合 FDG PET/CT 表现,该患者患有去势抵抗性转移性疾病。前列腺癌转移的常见部位是骨骼和局部淋巴结。胰腺是前列腺癌转移的非典型部位。本例中的 PET/CT 有助于有针对性的病理证实,以区分原发性胰腺肿瘤和来自前列腺癌的不常见转移,这反过来又影响了临床管理。
