We present a case of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the tongue base incidentally detected on F-fluciclovine PET/CT. A 79-year-old man with history of locally advanced prostate cancer (Gleason score 4 + 5 = 9; cT2cN1M0) previously treated with androgen deprivation therapy (luprolide + bicalutamide) presented with a slowly rising serum prostate-specific antigen over 3 years, concerning for recurrent disease. F-fluciclovine PET/CT, obtained to identify potential sites of recurrence, demonstrated prostate bed uptake with possible left seminal vesicle involvement. Additionally, an exophytic, tracer-avid right tongue base mass was incidentally noted and later confirmed to be p16+ SCC on biopsy.
我们报告了一例舌底口咽鳞状细胞癌(SCC)病例,该病例是在 F-氟代脱氧胸苷 PET/CT 上偶然发现的。一名 79 岁男性,既往患有局部晚期前列腺癌(Gleason 评分 4+5=9;cT2cN1M0),曾接受雄激素剥夺治疗(亮丙瑞林+比卡鲁胺),3 年来血清前列腺特异性抗原逐渐升高,考虑为疾病复发。进行 F-氟代脱氧胸苷 PET/CT 以确定潜在的复发部位,结果显示前列腺床摄取,可能伴有左侧精囊受累。此外,还偶然发现一个外生性、示踪剂摄取的右侧舌底肿块,随后活检证实为 p16+SCC。
