Fluciclovine F-18 PET-CT imaging findings of sacral and sciatic nerve perineural invasion in prostate cancer

Conclusions: Tumoral perineural invasion in prostatic cancer is an under recognized and incompletely elucidated phenomenon that is increasingly being reported due to positive radiographic findings.-Combining MRI and PET-CT imaging modalities has been suggested to improve radiographic accuracy during evaluation of lumbosacral plexopathies in patients with prostatic adenocarcinoma.-Imaging with prostate-specific PET radio-tracers in cases with suspicion of lumbosacral plexopathy and history of prostate cancer, may prove useful to narrow the differential diagnosis by potentially excluding inflammatory or non-prostatic malignancy etiologies.
