Given the increasing role of multi-parametric MRI in guiding targeted prostate biopsies, it is imperative that the interpreting radiologist have a thorough knowledge of the many different locations and appearances of prostate tumors on such examinations. The purpose of this exhibit is to expose radiologists to a range of unusual or less common presentations of prostate tumors on MRI and to provide pointers to aid in accurately diagnosing such cases, including the key role of multi-parametric imaging in this assessment.
Case presentations will comprise representative examples of prostate tumors with an unusual location or appearance, along with accompanying discussion highlighting the key MRI features. The list of cases includes:
A) Peripheral zone:
1) Distal apical tumor
2) Subcapsular crescentic tumor
3) Tumor mimicking the posterior midline “pseudolesion”
4) Anterolateral horn tumor
5) Infiltrative tumor
B) Central gland:
6) Anterior fibromuscular stromal tumor
7) Peri-urethral tumor
8) Central zone tumor
9) Exophytic tumor
10) Occult tumor in area of BPH
