Abstract: Abstract: Primary mucinous tumors involving the prostate gland are rare. We describe MRI and 18F-PSMA-11 PET/MRI findings in a case of prostate adenocarcinoma with mucinous features. The prostate tumor showed inhomogeneous hyperintensity on T2-weighted images due to high extracellular mucin content and inhomogeneous 18F-PSMA-11 uptake with SUVmax of 12.5. This case indicates PSMA PET imaging may be helpful for detection of this uncommon variant of prostate adenocarcinoma.<br />Competing Interests: Conflicts of interest and sources of funding: This work was supported by the “Discipline Climbing 234 Plan for Disciplinary Platform Construction” of Changhai Hospital of Navy Medical University (no. 2020YPT002) and Advanced Appropriate Technology Promotion Project of Shanghai Health System (no. 2019SY029).
