  • Beschreibung: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>A 73-year-old man with a prostate cancer treated by radical prostatectomy in 2006. For a biochemical recurrence of disease (prostate-specific antigen level, 0.1 ng/mL) during hormonal therapy, patient underwent <jats:sup>18</jats:sup>F-choline PET/CT that showed a significant uptake in a diffuse right pleural thickening. The patient was sent to pleurectomy decortication showing an epithelioid pleural mesothelioma. This case highlighted that a histopathological evaluation is mandatory in case of a significant radiolabeled choline uptake in pleural lesions.</jats:p>
