We report a case of a patient performing a positron emission tomography–computed tomography (PET‐CT) scan with [18F]F‐Choline for biochemical relapse (Prostate specific antigen (PSA) 1.2 ng/ml) of prostate cancer. Two large areas of focal uptake with a cold core within the liver were observed. A contrast‐enhanced ultrasound scan performed after the PET scan characterized these lesions as cavernous hepatic hemangiomas, and therefore, a biopsy was not performed; 3 years of follow‐up and PET and MRI finding stability confirmed the benignity of their nature.

Abstract
We report a case of a patient performing a positron emission tomography–computed tomography (PET‐CT) scan with [18F]F‐Choline for biochemical relapse (Prostate specific antigen (PSA) 1.2 ng/ml) of prostate cancer. Two large areas of focal uptake with a cold core within the liver were observed. A contrast‐enhanced ultrasound scan performed after the PET scan characterized these lesions as cavernous hepatic hemangiomas, and therefore, a biopsy was not performed; 3 years of follow‐up and PET and MRI finding stability confirmed the benignity of their nature.File in questo prodotto:
