Prostate Cancer Liver Metastases Presenting as Relatively Photopenic Lesions on 18F-Fluciclovine PET/CT.
    Clinical nuclear medicine, 2021, Apr-01, Volume: 46, Issue:4

    A 66-year-old man with prostate adenocarcinoma status post radical retropubic prostatectomy and bilateral pelvic lymph node dissection, followed by salvage external beam radiation therapy to the prostate bed 1 year after surgery. Over the course of 17 years, the patient underwent multiple lines of systemic treatment for recurrent disease. He was referred for restaging 18F-fluciclovine PET/CT due to rising serum prostate-specific antigen levels. Contrast-enhanced 18F-fluciclovine PET/CT images demonstrated multiple new liver metastases, which were relatively photopenic in comparison with the physiologic radiotracer activity in the surrounding normal liver parenchyma.

18F-Fluciclovine Uptake by an Incidentally Detected Hepatocellular Carcinoma in a Case of Biochemically Recurrent Prostate Cancer.
    Clinical nuclear medicine, 2018, Volume: 43, Issue:9

    Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting men worldwide with a high recurrence rate following therapy. F-fluciclovine, is a US Food and Drug Administration-approved radiopharmaceutical for PET imaging in biochemically recurrent prostate cancer. It targets increased amino acid transporters in the cell membrane of cancer cells. We report a case of incidentally detected hepatocellular carcinoma showing F-fluciclovine uptake in a 71-year-old man with biochemically recurrent prostate cancer.
