An Incidental Finding of Mucinous Colon Cancer by 18F-Choline PETCT Determining a Change in Clinical Management of a Patient with Recurrent Prostate Adenocarcinoma

الملخص EN

A 66-year-old-man underwent a PET/CT scan after a biochemical relapse for a prostate cancer previously treated with a laparoscopic surgical procedure which revealed a focal uptake in the posterior wall of sigmoid colon.

The biopsy demonstrated a colon cancer with mucinous differentiation producing a shift in clinical priority.

To the best of our knowledge this is the first report in the English literature describing the detection by 18F-choline PET/CT of a colorectal cancer with mucinous differentiation.
