COVID-19 pneumonia incidentally detected on 18F-Fluorocholine PET/CT in a work up for prostate cancer

This is a presentation of the case of a patient who undergone 18F-fluorocholine PET/CT to stage a prostate cancer with an incidentally found bilateral pneumonia. A high prevalence of incidental pneumonia is very probable under the current circumstance of COVID-19 pandemic, and oncological patients are at increased risk of COVID-19 with poorer outcome. The lung inflammatory burden in the case of COVID-19 infection can be demonstrated by18F-fluorocholine.
