Abstract
Peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) is a group of malignant tumors composed of small round cells. Peripheral PNET usually originates in the skeletal system. However, the presence of PNET lesion in prostate is extremely rare. We report a case of a 40-year-old man who presented with dysuria for more than 2 months. Pelvic MRI indicated prostatic malignant tumor, and F-DCFPyL PET/CT showed an isolated prostatic mass with high uptake of F-DCFPyL. Although F-DCFPyL is very specific for prostatic adenocarcinoma, a final diagnosis of peripheral PNET was made by pathology examination.Entities:
