Fig. 7B —78-year-old man who underwent radical retropubic
prostatectomy in 1999 for adenocarcinoma of prostate. He developed
prostate-specific antigen (PSA) recurrence in 2001, originally treated with
single Lupron injection (leuprolide acetate, TAP Pharmaceuticals), and PSA
normalized. In 2003, PSA again began rising, and he was placed on Zoladex
(goserelin acetate, AstraZeneca). In 2005, he again developed rising PSA and
was placed on Casodex (bicalutamide, AstraZeneca). Restaging CT and bone scans
were always negative. At this point, 111In capromab pendetide (222
MBq [6 mCi] IV) scintigraphy was requested for localization of occult
recurrent disease. Planar whole-torso images (not shown) showed negative
findings. SPECT/CT images obtained at 96 hours after injection detect
recurrence in CT-negative, normal-sized retroperitoneal interaortocaval lymph
node (arrows). This case shows synergism of combined SPECT/CT.
