Abstract

Prostate imaging with F-labeled 1-amino-3-fluorocyclobutane-1-carboxylic acid (FACBC, F-fluciclovine) PET/CT scan (Axumin) was recently approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for men with suspected prostate cancer recurrence based on elevated blood prostate-specific antigen levels following prior treatment. We present a rare case of a 77-year-old man with suspected recurrent prostate cancer with an incidental finding of advanced-stage breast cancer showing different degrees of F-fluciclovine uptake.
