Abstract

ABSTRACT: A 75-year-old patient was referred with biochemical recurrence for prostate cancer. The patient underwent 68 Ga-PSMA (prostate-specific membrane antigen) PET/CT scan, which revealed a focal PSMA activity in the proximal left lateral penile margin. Although a subsequent ultrasound did not identify the abnormality, MRI pelvis revealed a 10-mm lesion in the left proximal corpus cavernosum. This lesion was consistent with metastatic acinar adenocarcinoma of the prostate on postresection histopathology. This unusual presentation of asymptomatic, histopathology-proven, penile solitary metastases was documented 3 years after robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy and pelvic external beam radiotherapy.
