False-positive diagnosis of disease progression by magnetic resonance imaging for response assessment in prostate cancer with bone metastases: A case report and review of the pitfalls of images in the literature.

摘要: Bone metastases are common in prostate cancer. However, differentiating neoplastic from non-neoplastic alterations of bone on images is challenging. In the present report, a rare case marrow reconversion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) assessment, which may lead to false-positive diagnosis disease progression hormone-resistant cancer, presented. Furthermore, review literature regarding pitfalls for response including 'flare' phenomenon scintigraphy, computed tomography (CT), positron emission tomography/CT and MRI also provided. These inaccuracies, premature termination an efficacious treatment, should be carefully considered by radiologists oncologists involved clinical trials. The reported study showed how assess early therapeutic select appropriate treatment patient when these encountered images.
