COVID-19 Pneumonia was Incidentally Detected on (18)F-Fluorocholine PET/CT in a Work-up for Prostate Cancer

This is a presentation of the case of a patient who underwent (18)F-fluorocholine positron emission/computed tomography to stage a prostate cancer with incidentally found bilateral pneumonia. A high prevalence of incidental pneumonia is very probable under the current circumstance of coronavirus dis...

description This is a presentation of the case of a patient who underwent (18)F-fluorocholine positron emission/computed tomography to stage a prostate cancer with incidentally found bilateral pneumonia. A high prevalence of incidental pneumonia is very probable under the current circumstance of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, and oncological patients are at increased risk of COVID-19 with poorer outcome. The lung inflammatory burden in the case of COVID-19 infection can be demonstrated by (18)F-fluorocholine.
