JRSM Open. 2016 Oct 4;7(10):2054270416660934. doi: 10.1177/2054270416660934. eCollection 2016 Oct.

Abstract

In prostate cancer patients, if bone scan demonstrates a solitary lesion in atypical area, this is possibly an indication of metastatic disease. Therefore, biopsy confirmation is required to determine the nature of the abnormality and therefore dictates further staging investigations and treatment options.

Keywords: Prostate cancer; bone scan; solitary metastasis.
