Uncommon Detection of Leiomyoma in the Penile Corpus Spongiosum Using FDG PET/CT : A Case Report

Copyright © 2024 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc. All rights reserved..

ABSTRACT: Primary tumors of the penile corpus spongiosum are rare. Hereby we describe the scintigraphic findings of a case of penile leiomyoma within the corpus spongiosum tissue, which was incidentally detected on FDG PET/CT. The benign neoplasm was growing in close proximity to the urethra showing increased focal FDG uptake on sequential PET/CT studies. Subsequently, the patient experienced obstructive urinary symptoms, and the tumor was resected. We concluded that the possibility of neoplasm should be kept in mind while evaluating a patient with persistent focal penile FDG uptake, which may be the first and only manifestation of the disease.
