Brain metastases in patient with prostate cancer found in 18F-choline PET/CT
open access
Abstract
Brain metastases are a rare complication of prostate cancer. They are usually diagnosed in an end-stage disease when the tumor has already spread to the other organs and tissues. We present a case of a male with castration-resistant prostate cancer with bone metastases visualized in 18F-fluorocholine PET/CT scan.
