In this case, I'm presenting a ATE pet
0:04
performed on an 82-year-old male who presented
0:09
to, uh, identify the primary neuroendocrin tumor.
0:14
He presented with back pain
0:15
and had an MRI done, uh, that showed a sacral lesion
0:19
that was biopsied
0:21
and came back as well differentiated neuroendocrine tumor
0:24
and therefore he underwent the ity to identify the primary
0:29
and do a total staging.
0:32
So as we can see, there's the sacral lesion
0:34
that has very intense tracer uptake as well as, uh,
0:39
uptake in the mesentary
0:41
and in the small bowel confirming the primary
0:45
and additionally a separate small bowel lesion.
0:50
But what I want you to also note in this case is that
0:55
he had diffuse tracer uptake in the prostate
1:00
gland, not in the entire prostate gland.
1:04
He, the left posterior aspect of the prostate
1:09
had less uptake.
1:10
Relatively speaking. This finding is common
1:15
and this is seen on prostatitis.
1:19
The one thing that you can recommend would be to
1:24
ask for urinary symptoms as prostatitis
1:27
usually comes with symptoms.
1:29
They might want to correlate with PSA levels
1:32
as prostatitis can also increase the PSA levels
1:35
and essentially just, uh, do a clinical follow-up
1:39
for resolution of symptoms.
1:42
This patient also showed
1:44
diffuse trace uptake in the majority of the prostate gland,
1:48
with the exception of the left posterior prostate.
1:54
And this is consistent with the pattern of prostatitis.
1:58
This patient was later found to have a
2:02
prostate adenocarcinoma precisely in the area
2:05
where there was lack of the ate uptake.
