- Abstract:
- Diagnosis of prostate cancer ( PC) still remains critical as non-invasive screening with prostate specific-antigen (PSA) lacks to indicate malignancy of the prostate in some cases. Recent research has shown that clinically meaningful PC can develop in patients with a PSA value < 4 ng/ml, frequently defined as upper limit of normal serum PSA levels. Furthermore, both morphological ( computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging, transrectal ultrasound) and functional imaging with 18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) are associated with several limitations for primary diagnosis of PC. We report a case of an incidentally diagnosed PSA-negative PC by (18)FDG PET/CT in a patient with a previous diagnosis of a hypopharyngeal cancer.
