Atypical Presentation of Metastatic Castrate-resistant Prostate Cancer in a Middle Aged African Male with Good Response to Radioligand Therapy

Prostate cancer typically follows a characteristic pattern of metastatic spread to the pelvic lymph nodes and bone.Atypical patterns of metastasis are rare but have been documented.In African men, this disease tends to follow a more aggressive course, with the possibility of an atypical site of metastatic spread.We present a case of a 58-year-old African male with metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer who presented with both typical and atypical patterns of metastatic disease detected by a fluorine 18 prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography/ computed tomography scan.This patient also had a good response to radioligand therapy.
