Primary mesenchymal tumors of the prostate:¹⁸F FDG PET/CT findings.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Primary mesenchymal tumors of the prostate are very rare, and there is no systematic report on fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT). The aim of this research was to characterize mesenchymal tumors of the prostate on ¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT.

Results

We included 13 patients with pathologically confirmed mesenchymal neoplasms of the prostate. The location, size, maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax), metabolic tumor volume (MTV), total glycolysis of the lesion (TLG), pathologic findings, and available imaging study of the tumors were reviewed. Of the 13 patients (median age, 38 years; ranged from 13 to 74 years), the mean size of the tumors was 8.8 cm in diameter ranged from 5 to 16.1 cm. SUVmax ranged from 3.
