Case report: Malignant priapism: penile metastasis from prostate cancer with low serum PSA level
Penile metastasis from prostate cancer is a rare condition and is often initially misdiagnosed due to the presentation of occult malignancy. This case highlights the need for clinicians to enhance their understanding and diagnostic accuracy regarding penile metastases. Imaging techniques such as Fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) and Gallium-68 prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography/computed tomography (Ga-68 PSMA PET/CT) can detect prostate cancer lesions even at low serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels, thereby improving diagnostic precision for prostate cancer.
