Résumé
We report the results of whole body 18F-fluorocholine (FCH) PET/CT in a single patient with biochemical suspicion of prostate adenocarcinoma relapse and recent history of minor head injury. PET showed an intense area of increased FCH uptake in the right parietal bone, without any morphological abnormality on either CT or skull radiographs. Understanding the radiotracer's physiological biodistribution as well as the nonmalignant etiologies of FCH uptake are essential requirements for a correct diagnostic interpretation of FCH PET/CT in patients with biological recurrence of prostate cancer.
