Background

Benign prostatic hyperplasia mainly arises within the para-urethral transition zone and is rarely seen in the peripheral zone.

SUV max of 7.3

Results

SUV max of 7.3

high uptake here does not rule out benign disease

More results

We describe MRI and 18 F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT findings in a patient with a large benign hyperplastic nodule in the peripheral zone.

“

Conclusion

This case indicates that a large benign prostatic hyperplastic nodule can arise from the peripheral zone and shows increased 18 F-PSMA-1007 uptake mimicking prostate cancer.
