Peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) is a group of malignant tumors composed of small round cells. Peripheral PNET usually originates in the skeletal system. However, the presence of PNET lesion in prostate is extremely rare. We report a case of a 40-year-old man who presented with dysuria for more than 2 months. Pelvic MRI indicated prostatic malignant tumor, and F-DCFPyL PET/CT showed an isolated prostatic mass with high uptake of F-DCFPyL. Although F-DCFPyL is very specific for prostatic adenocarcinoma, a final diagnosis of peripheral PNET was made by pathology examination.
外周原始神经外胚层肿瘤(PNET)是一组由小圆细胞组成的恶性肿瘤。外周 PNET 通常起源于骨骼系统。然而,前列腺中 PNET 病变极为罕见。我们报告了 1 例 40 岁男性,因排尿困难超过 2 个月就诊。盆腔 MRI 提示前列腺恶性肿瘤,F-DCFPyL PET/CT 显示孤立性前列腺肿块摄取 F-DCFPyL 增高。尽管 F-DCFPyL 对前列腺腺癌非常特异,但最终的病理检查诊断为外周 PNET。
