Gleason Grade Group 4 prostate biopsy with no cancer seen on final pathology in the magnetic resonance imaging and Prostate Specific Membrane Antigen-Positron Emission Tomography era.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The absence of prostate cancer on final surgical pathology after biopsy-proven prostate cancer is a rare finding.

Case presentation

Case of pT0 prostate cancer following Gleason Grade Group 4 in 1 out of 12 cores from a transrectal ultrasound-guided biopsy in a man who underwent both magnetic resonance imaging and ¹⁸F-PSMA-1007 Positron Emission Tomography prior to radical prostatectomy.

Conclusion

pT0 prostate cancer is rare. The use of novel imaging modalities may help in the workup of prostate cancer.
