Description

Lytic bone metastases are rare in prostate cancer. We here present 18 fluorine fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography computed tomography (PET-CT) images of a 67-year-old male patient with lytic metastases from prostate cancer. Repeat 18F-FDG PET-CT done 6 months later showed response to medical castration therapy. While the role of 18F-FDG PET-CT for sclerotic bone metastases in prostate cancer remains controversial, it appears to be useful for detection and response assessment of lytic prostate cancer metastases.
