18F-FDG and 18F-Fluciclovine Uptake in Poorly Differentiated Lung Adenocarcinoma in the Setting of Biochemically Recurrent Prostatic Adenocarcinoma

A 64-year-old man with a history of Gleason 7 (3 + 4) pT2cN0 prostatic adenocarcinoma status post prostatectomy underwent a fluciclovine PET/CT that showed a tracer-avid right upper lobe spiculated solitary pulmonary nodule. Follow-up FDG PET/CT showed a hypermetabolic right upper lobe spiculated solitary pulmonary nodule. Fine-needle aspiration was consistent with primary lung adenocarcinoma. Subsequently, right upper lobectomy was performed, and poorly differentiated lung adenocarcinoma was confirmed.
