The increased use of axial imaging in various fields of medicine has led to an increased frequency of incidental findings, specifically incidental cancer lesions. Hence, as the use of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MP-MRI) for prostate cancer detection, staging, and management becomes more widespread, the potential for additional incidental findings in the pelvis increases. Herein, we report the case of a man on active surveillance for low-grade, early-staged prostate cancer who underwent MP-MRI and was incidentally found to have a high-grade bladder cancer lesion.
在医学各个领域中,轴向成像技术使用的增加导致了偶然发现的频率上升,特别是偶然发现的癌症病变。因此,随着多参数磁共振成像(MP-MRI)在前列腺癌检测、分期和管理中的应用越来越广泛,骨盆中出现额外偶然发现的可能性也增加了。在此,我们报告一例正在接受低级别、早期前列腺癌主动监测的男性患者,其接受MP-MRI检查时偶然发现患有高级别膀胱癌病变。
