Abstract
ABSTRACT
Calcification and formation of calculi in the genitourinary system such as the bladder, kidney, and prostate are common processes of aging. Despite being in different parts of the body, these calculi can share risk factors; for instance, bladder and prostate calculi are seen in older men with benign prostatic hyperplasia. There have been increasing reports of detection of calculi using PET tracers such as 18 F-NaF and 18 F-FDG, suggesting their role for detection of extraosseous calcification. In this report, we present simultaneous detection of bladder and prostate calculi with both 18 F-NaF and 18 F-FDG avidity in a 74-year-old man with multiple myeloma.
