Incidentally Detected Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma on 18F-Fluciclovine PET/CT

ABSTRACTWe present a case of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the tongue base incidentally detected on F-fluciclovine PET/CT. A 79-year-old man with history of locally advanced prostate cancer (Gleason score 4 + 5 = 9; cT2cN1M0) previously treated with androgen deprivation therapy (lup...

Description
Summary:	ABSTRACTWe present a case of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the tongue base incidentally detected on F-fluciclovine PET/CT. A 79-year-old man with history of locally advanced prostate cancer (Gleason score 4 + 5 = 9; cT2cN1M0) previously treated with androgen deprivation therapy (luprolide + bicalutamide) presented with a slowly rising serum prostate-specific antigen over 3 years, concerning for recurrent disease. F-fluciclovine PET/CT, obtained to identify potential sites of recurrence, demonstrated prostate bed uptake with possible left seminal vesicle involvement. Additionally, an exophytic, tracer-avid right tongue base mass was incidentally noted and later confirmed to be p16+ SCC on biopsy.
