Abstract

A 74-year-old man with biochemical recurrent prostate cancer underwent 18F-fluciclovine PET/CT for restaging to determine subsequent treatment strategy. 18F-fluciclovine PET/CT imaging demonstrated incidental focal heterogeneous increased 18F-fluciclovine uptake corresponding to a soft tissue nodule within the musculature of the left anterior abdominal wall. Subsequent ultrasound-guided biopsy of the lesion revealed histopathology compatible with a desmoid tumor. Consequently, the patient underwent surgical resection with wide local excision of the lesion.
