50-year-old with a PSA of four, a benign gland
0:04
on exam and no obstructive urinary symptoms.
0:07
So we've brought up our axial T2, our ADC map windowed
0:12
at 1400x1400, a synthetically created B equal 1600 image,
0:18
and the arterial phase of the dynamic post-contrast series.
0:22
And what you'll notice, starting looking in the
0:25
peripheral zone, is that most of the
0:27
peripheral zone is uniformly high T2 signal.
0:30
There are some linear areas of low signal, which is normal.
0:33
And then here in the anterior
0:34
peripheral zone, there's about a 1.
0:36
8 centimeter, uh, very well-defined T2 dark nodule.
0:42
It's an absolute black hole on the ADC map.
0:45
The ADC values are very low; they
0:47
measure in the 600s, here 676.
0:51
This region is high signal on the high B
0:54
value image, and it does focally enhance.
0:57
Uh, in the arterial phase, uh, following contrast.
1:00
Uh, so this is a PI-RADS 5 lesion, and it's located
1:04
in the anterior gland, so this wouldn't be palpable.
1:06
The posterior gland is palpated, and this
1:09
also likely would have been missed if the
1:10
person had had a systematic trans-rectal ultrasound biopsy.
1:13
Um, the remainder of the peripheral zone looks okay.
1:16
There's no other areas of diffusion restriction.
1:18
The transition zone is mildly enlarged.
1:21
This is kind of a normal appearance
1:22
of prostatic hypertrophy.
1:24
You'll notice here and here are as normal, uh, central zone.
1:29
This is what it looks like.
1:32
diffusion restriction in the central zone.
1:34
That's normal.
1:35
Uh, there's no extracapsular extension.
1:39
Seminal vesicles look fine.
1:41
Let's find those for you.
1:44
There's no abnormal soft tissue or enhancement
1:47
along the course of the neurovascular bundles,
1:48
kind of expected given the anterior tumor.
1:50
So this is a PI-RADS 5.
1:52
Uh, and when it was biopsied, uh, we got predominantly, uh,
1:57
4 plus 3 and 4 plus 4, so very high-grade disease, which
2:00
is concordant with the very low ADC values in the 600s.
