Isolated Intravascular Prostate Carcinoma Recurrence Confirmed With 18F-Fluciclovine PET/CT and MRI.

Late recurrence of prostate cancer after remission with prior radical prostatectomy is uncommon. This is a unique case of biochemical recurrence after being in remission for 12 years. The patient presented with swelling of the right lower extremity with pelvic MRI demonstrating an arterially enhancing filling defect in the right common iliac. An F-fluciclovine PET/CT showed corresponding increased intravascular radiotracer activity. Targeted biopsy of the intravascular lesion showed poorly differentiated carcinoma, suggestive of prostate origin. Although MRI evaluation is the mainstay for pelvic evaluation, characterization with F-fluciclovine PET/CT imaging adds high whole-body specificity and diagnostic accuracy.
